So this is the Black Friday/Christmas 2018 ammo deal.

I have nothing good to say about it. Well, it didn’t blow up. That’s good.

I used it to re-zero a gun that I had adjusted the scope on. I could not get it to group at all using an 11.5” BCM ELW. I’d have a 5 shot group 5 inches wide in the upper right quadrant of the target paper. Then the next string would be 4 inches wide in the lower left quadrant of that paper. Vertical stringing, horizontal stringing. Zero consistency. All from the 100 yard line.

This gun is a capable shooter. I’ve stacked rounds with AE 55 gr .223 before.

To see what’s up, I loaded some AE 75gr and put three rounds inside 1.25”.

This stuff is now reserved for 15 yards and in burn down sessions.

Is that ammo part of the CCI Blazer line up?

Holy crap. Will stay away. That makes all the wolf and tulammo I've ever shot seem match grade.
