50 Yards on a beautiful day

It doesn't pay to do a test without some sort of control group.

Here are some 50-yard targets shot with CCI Blazer, same time/place...

 

how clean were the actions after your test?

my biggest gripe with Remington GB's in the past has always been the amount of garbage left behind in the action after shooting a box or two of it...not necessarily the accuracy..so how clean did the Ranch Hand leave your action?

 

Very clean, different powder it even smells different (to me anyway)

 

Good to know..maybe I’ll check out the local sportsman’s wharehouse next week before we head for the range

 

well At $10.99 for 100 it’s ok, not as cheap as Blazer etc nor IMO as good so consider it a throw away purchase.


better yet, PM me your address, I’ll send you mine (free)

 

tried to PM you...the system won't let me see your profile

soooooo.... seems like the conclusion is not to buy this stuff.
Especially if your gun prefers another brand and shoots it well.
Am I right?

I don't have any, and am not planning to buy it since my 1022
is happy with two other brands.
If someone gave me a brick, I'd do a stock screw tension test
on it, just to see if I could make it fly right.

But that's not likely and we don't expect it, so I'll just keep my
wallet in my pocket, and shoot up my supply of Remington
Golden Bullets that I bought because there was nothing else on
the shelves in 2021.

 

I'll let you know..although my rifles do seem to like the Blazer ammunition

...and those GB's actually run pretty good in my Poly80's, with their Advantage Arms 22 conversion slides on them

 

well, I like to read your reports even if I'm not in the market for anything.
I only own one .22 rifle and one .22 pistol, and I believe I have enough
ammo for them. In addition I have the oddball brands like Winchester and
Remington that I bought in the absence of anything else. Weird to think
of those two as oddball brands, but that's what they are IMHO.

I will shoot those up for fun with my Wrangler,
and stick to my rifle's favorite CCI and Aguila
when something important might need to be done.

my best shooting buddy/neighbor has a Wrangler...nice little revolver

when I was a kid, the local corner store (paper stand/groceries/post office/bait shop..you know, a typical small town business) in my grandparents home town only carried Winchester Wildcats in 50 rnd boxes, and CCI in the amber plastic 100 rnd boxes..they were both great..and very inexpensive back then..

 

No brainer to me, the Blaser ammo is cheaper and shot better groups. You've now got one more ammo that didn't best what you already had (don't we all!).
