Blazer Ammunition .22 Long Rifle 40 Grain High Velocity Lead Round Nose Ammunition (MPN: 21)
Product Description
Shooters conducting high-volume target practice, steel challenge matches, or backyard plinking with .22 Long Rifle handguns and rifles often face cycling frustration when using low-quality bulk rimfire ammunition. Sluggish velocities can lead to failure-to-feed or failure-to-eject malfunctions in semi-automatic actions, while soft, unlubricated lead lead-fouls rifle barrels rapidly. Blazer Ammunition resolves this range reliability challenge with their High Velocity .22 LR 40-grain Lead Round Nose (LRN) cartridges, delivering consistent cycling energy, clean combustion, and reliable rimfire ignition at an accessible price point.
Proudly manufactured in Lewiston, Idaho, under CCI's strict quality control standards, this high-velocity rimfire round features a classic 40-grain solid Lead Round Nose projectile. The bullet is coated with a special wax lubricant designed to reduce lead buildup inside rifle and pistol barrels while ensuring smooth feeding from box, tube, and rotary magazines. Each round is seated into quality uniform brass cases primed with non-corrosive, highly sensitive rimfire priming compound. Blazer uses clean-burning propellants metered to generate uniform chamber pressure and consistent shot-to-shot velocities.
Out on the firing line, this 40-grain load delivers flat trajectories and authoritative slide-cycling force across semi-automatic rifles and pistols, as well as smooth operation in bolt-action and revolver platforms. Leaving the muzzle at a brisk 1,235 FPS with 135 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, it yields excellent accuracy for target scoring, steel target ringing, and small game hunting. Packaged in a compact, easy-to-stack 50-round box, Blazer .22 LR High Velocity stands out as an essential, dependable go-to choice for marksmen, target shooters, and high-volume training sessions.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Safety Guidance: Rimfire ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older (or 18 for long gun use where legally permitted) and assume full legal responsibility for adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Due to commercial carrier transit restrictions, ammunition cannot be delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries heading to California and New York must ship directly to an authorized FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must provide a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and local delivery prohibitions affect specific jurisdictions inside Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Armorer Tip: High-velocity 40-grain round nose profile is ideal for breaking in new .22 LR semi-automatic handguns and carbines, ensuring enough blowback pressure to work stiff action springs smoothly.
