![]() ![]() I guess some of the pistol shooters were having problems with it last year and found some that wouldn't fire after turning and shooting again.ĮTA: I haven't shot Thunderbolts in years, but have heard a lot of quality control complaints on them also, 4 or 5% failure to fire. I've read lately their may be problems with a lot of Standard Velocity and primer consistency. Since then I've shot Aguila Match Rifle, worked fine in a pistol, and after that case CCI Standard Velocity for the past 7 years or so. It was so bad a fellow shooter gave me a box of CCI Green Label to finish the night. After Sea Duty kept me from shooting for a couple seasons I picked up some Target 22 and it had several Failure to Fires in 30 rounds. I noticed the reduction in recoil and more time to shoot Timed and Rapid targets. As the years went by I started shooting the Remington Target 22. My wife would get me 2 packs for Christmas.Īnyhow, used to shoot fairly well with it. Sam's Club used to sell it in 2 brick packs for Christmas. Ruger MKII 22/45,no mods, and Thunderbolts. Seeing only good reviews online, I thought I'd share this review with y'all. So I just ordered 5,000 rounds of the CCI SV. The harder recoil in the SW22 and the unreliability in the 10/22 scared me away. 22 LR offerings, to include a new subsonic line with a polymer coating that allows cleaner shooting than normal. The Blazer seemes to take a deeper primer hit indentation than the CCI SV. Accuracy: PoA was consistently PoI (using Vortex Viper red dot) Both CCI Stinger and CCI SV rim diameter averaged the same - 0.272 - 0.273, so rim diamter doesntt seem to be the cause of the bolt riding over the CCI Blazer rounds The CCI SV has always fed 99.99% reliably. A slightly greater recoil impulse was barely noticeable. Why it causes FtFire in the 10/22 and not the SW22 eludes me. By meaurement the Blazers are about 0.032" shorter than the Standard Velocity. TdK 10/22 - of the 120ish rounds fired, about 7 failures to feed, with the bolt riding over the cartridge and denting the side of the round. Accuracy: PoA was consistently PoI (using Vortex Viper red dot) Bullet Weight: 40 grain Cartridge Case Material: Brass Muzzle Velocity: 1072 ft/s (26-inch barrel) Primer Location: Rimfire Muzzle Energy: 102 ft-lbs Lot Number Tested: 27555/705775 A few other minor observations I was able to make is that the smell of the burnt powder was quite unlike any other rimfire cartridge I had fired. But when measuring string times in hundredths of a second, the Balzerwould be a time handicap. Its 22 rf.were not talking 300 WinMag here. That it was as noticeable as it was did suprise me. That it would have a greater recoil at 150 fps faster is not suprising. SW22 - 100 % reliability with a measurably greater recoil impulse. Most subsonic 9mm ammo with have a lower recoil since they are typically loaded to a lower pressure (in order. The Center-X obliterates anything cheaper than it and, in my best rifle, beats substantially higher cost stuff from other makers as well.I fired approximately 120 rounds in both guns, and observed the following:ĬCI Blazer, 38 grain, 1235 fps. In my rifles, I shoot the CCI SV stuff much of the time and Lapua Center-X when I am serious. Depending on which rifle and lot of ammo, the CCI SV actually outshoots the lower level Wolf / SK stuff as well as fed 711b much of the time at substantially less cost. Since the demise of the Eley / Aguila purple box sport stuff (which was also a great value and is much missed), there is nothing near it in performance. If your willing to go a step up, CCI Standard Velocity in the cardboard 500rd bricks is an incredible value. The Wildcat is also the second most reliable feeding of any of these behind the Remington which is the most reliable but also poorest accuracy. My MK Ii match pistol is fed mostly Winchester wildcat. I refuse to shoot plated garbage in any of my guns. For the really cheap HV stuff, I have found Winchester Wildcat to outshoot CCI blazer, federal lightning, remington TB, and certainly any plated garbage. ![]()
