22 LR – 40 gr LRN – CCI Blazer (0021) – 5000 Rounds

A full case of 22 LR is how gun clubs, scout troops, and serious rimfire competitors keep from running short. This listing is CCI Blazer 22 Long Rifle 40 grain lead round nose ammo, MPN 0021, sold as a 5,000 round case. It is the right size for youth programs, rimfire steel challenge practice, and households with several 22s that get used every weekend. A single case also simplifies budgeting for a year of club or family shooting.

CCI rates Blazer 22 LR at 1,235 fps with 135 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The high velocity loading gives semi-automatic actions plenty of energy to cycle, which matters when you are shooting rimfire matches or running several rifles through a day of training. The 40 grain lead round nose bullet is the classic target projectile. It is intended for paper, steel plates, and practice, and is not the best choice for hunting small game.

It fits rifles and handguns chambered in 22 Long Rifle, including the Ruger 10/22, Mark IV, and SR22, Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 and Victory, Browning Buck Mark, Savage B22, CZ 457, Volquartsen and Kidd 10/22 builds, Tikka T1x, and Henry lever actions. A common question is how long a 5,000 round case lasts. For a family shooting a few hundred rounds a weekend, it often lasts a full year or more. Another common question is how to store this much rimfire. Keep it in a cool, dry place, ideally sealed cans, away from temperature swings.

CCI Blazer 0021 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. Rimfire cases are not reloadable, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 100 boxes of 50 rounds, 5,000 total, all from one lot. For rimfire competitors that single lot matters, because changing lots can shift point of impact on small targets.
