Did They Change CCI Blazer .22LR?

[Josh Smith]

Hello,

I cracked open one of this season's 500 round Blazer packs.

My previous experience had been that these shoot well, but are dirty and the lube is tacky.

I was greeted by very shiny cases - no blemishes - and a hard, shiny lube on the bullets that I couldn't scratch easily with my thumbnail.

Additionally they seem to be better made, more consistent, more accurate, and just overall better than they ever have been.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Josh

Josh, is this what you're shooting?

According to this it is new production and non-corrosive.

Blazers have never been corrosive, they did change them a year ago or so IIRC. Cant tell you exactly what they did but IMO the older stuff shoots better. I really like Blazers and buy them by the case, the last case I got was just, well, different than befor. Cleaner looking to be sure, and I do think the lube is harder, still fine for plinkin....

Hello,

That would be the stuff. The bullets on mine are darker, almost black, but that could be the lighting too.
