round case of .22 LR CCI Blazer about six or seven years ago. Still enjoying this ammo. Its performance in some of my rifles is surprising.

I had a range session today with my 6-18X44 Swift scope in B Square rings on the CZ 452 Varmint firing the CCI Blazer. I plan to use this combination in our 90 yard Raptor Match (bi-pods and little chickens, standing start to prone - 10 rds in one minute) on the 29th. After zeroing at 50 yards today, I took it up two and a quarter inches to get it close for the 90 yard match. I fired a final 10 shot group after the elevation adjustment and 9 of the 10 shots went in one hole. Sweet!! Surely, minute of chicken at 90 yards ;)

In the past, I would shoot higher dollar match ammunitions in this match. But, I have found that the harder hitting Blazer takes the birds down better. A grazed bird is often left standing with the standard velocity fodder.

was that 9 out of 10 in one hole at 50yds or 90yds? either way, that's pretty good shooting. i'm still playing with loads for my 455v, and so far eley match and wolf mt are neck and neck, so i bought a bunch of the wolf mt.

i've heard good things about the cci standard velocity too, and may pick up a brick of that to try. now i'll have to check out the blazer.
 
back40,

50 yards. I had just moved the Swift scope to this rifle from another CZ and wanted to zero it at 50 yards. Experience with the 90 yard match and the trajectory involved lead me to raise the point of impact in anticipation of the upcoming match. We have a brief sighting in session at the start of that match but I thought if I were closer to the mark that morning, it would save some time.

con,

Is that some of the CMP's latest ammo that went real fast?
 
Yes it is i got lucky and got some :). Im having ok luck with it but it isnt super accurate. My savage is my most accurate gun (.75/50yards with wolf match) and it shoots 1-1.25 with the rem surplus. But for the price it is great especially for plinking
