About CCI Blazer .22 LR
CCI Blazer is the no-frills bulk plinking option from CCI. Lead round nose at standard velocity. The 525-round bricks are the most common purchase size. The 5,250-round case carries the lowest per-round cost. Not as reliable in semi-autos as Mini-Mag (expect occasional failures to cycle in picky guns), but fine for revolvers, bolt actions, and most semi-auto rifles.
Pack Sizes and Value
The 525-round brick (10021) is the sweet spot for most buyers — portable, frequently on sale, and available at most retailers. The 5,250-round case (10022) is ten bricks and carries the lowest per-round cost of the three configurations. The 50-round box (0021) only makes sense if you need a small quantity to test. For regular plinking, buy at least the 525-count. If you have storage space and shoot often, the 5,250-round case locks in bulk pricing and keeps you supplied for months.
How It Compares
CCI Blazer is one of the cheapest .22 LR options from a major US manufacturer. Federal AutoMatch costs slightly more and offers better semi-auto reliability. Aguila Standard 40gr sits in the same bracket with similar bulk performance. Remington Thunderbolt is also in that bracket but has a reputation for being dirtier. CCI Mini-Mag costs more and is the step up when you need guaranteed cycling. Blazer suits shooting revolvers, bolt actions, or semi-autos that are not picky about ammo.
Buying Tips
Big-box retailers discount the 525-round bricks during holiday promotions — set a price alert to catch the drop. Blazer is lead round nose, so expect more barrel fouling than copper-plated options like Mini-Mag. Clean your gun more frequently during extended sessions. Blazer is not the best choice for semi-auto pistols that struggle to cycle standard-velocity ammo — test a box in your specific gun before buying in bulk. For bolt guns and revolvers, it is hard to beat Blazer on value.
