So after shipping my ammo out to be examined this is the response I got: "Our senior technical Services manager and I inspected the product and did note that some of the rounds did have a jagged portion along the rim. It is a bit difficult to determine the exact cause for this but it most likely happened during the process we call the 'head turn'. It is not what we would consider typical of this product and are unaware of this causing extraction problems. I am going to ship you replacement product in 'Blazer Brass' which uses a different type of case manufacturing process. I am sure you will be pleased with it's performance and the cases are reloadable." Wahoo!

Is Rem-oil a specific type or can I use any gun oil?

I'm filling out my forms for an additional pistol permit and I'm wondering if I need to put down 2 references again. I already have my FID card.

okay thanks.

The safety button has some rust on it between the ridges too.

In a case in the basement. I'm not sure what the humidity is down there but it's a finished basement.

Has anyone ever seen this? I have rust on my rear sight. I've only shot it indoors and the only thing I've ever touched it with is maybe a silicon cloth.

If there was a bear sitting on my door blocking me from getting in or coyotes for that matter I think I would take pictures of them and demand a ccw. It's real easy for people who are already allowed to carry to tell you "no" though. :roll: http://www.nrtoday.com/article/20080611/NEWS/696532934&parentprofile=search After reading this I'd get a hand cannon. And some bear spray.

So you can't hunt them. And we can't carry... so do you have to wait till Yogi eats your pet Mr. Snuggles before animal control comes to fix the problem? Bah. Bear sausage is very tasty...

Tell them to call me if they need extra stock taken off their hands. I'd even pick it up. =-) You have to love feel good/do nothing legislation...

No problems with the brass. only the aluminum in 9mm. Mine is defective so it's getting sent back . I think all I've shot in .40 s&w is blazer alum. with no issues. I did notice a rather large muzzle flash though.

Natchez has CCI Mini Mags for 5.99 for 100 if you order 10 boxes. Not sure if that's a good price but it was a lot less than Cheaper Than Dirt. I got a brick of Winchester Wild Cat in PA for 18 bucks I think. I hope the 22A likes it

What is green tip ammo? I usually see it as 62 gr 5.56mm. Is that legal in the PRNJ?

Being a bad gun owner I clean my guns right before I go to the range and let them marinate in spent gun powder in their cases till I'm ready to go to the range again. Could that have any negative effects? Corrosion, finish damage, etc?

Any problems with the P22? I liked the way it felt in my hand, but the sights have so much room in them. Any reliability or jamming issues?

Yes ups ground. You have to mark it ORM-D and something else.

I did and I was told I can send the ammo to them and it would be examined. Some of the rims are wavy and uneven. Some are jagged cuts. And some rims are noticeably thinner than others. I'm going to mail them out and see what happens. Again if you have any of the same problems I recommend you contact Blazer. -Chris

Using cheap ammo should mean having to worry about damage to my gun or the safety of myself or people around me. Plus it just burns my butt regarding the arrogant answer I got from them (It couldn't be our product so it must be your gun). So I'd like others to report it. Kind of a stick that in your pipe and smoke it response to them.

If you do notice the jagged rim please contact Blazer. Just because nobody has complained (or so the rep told me) doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Almost half the cases in my boxes are like that to different degrees though. I keep trying to tell the rep that they came like that. The rep is trying to tell me my clip is making those markings. "I don't think so Tim." -Al Borland

Anyone have issues with Blazer ammo not ejecting properly? I'm reposting the picture I took of the rim with the jagged cuts on it. After contacting Blazer I got this response: "From: Experts, BlazerAmmo Subject: RE: Blazer-Ammo.com - Ask the Expert Form Christopher: firing is not the cause of the problem, chambering/feeding from the magazine will accomplish the cuts. The Lot is nearly new production made in late March from a Lot size of 100,000 with no other reported problems. You can send for evaluation in the following manner: CCI Attn: Coy Getman 2299 Snake River Ave. Lewiston, ID 83501 Mark the exterior of the package "Cartridges, Small Arms" and "ORM-D". On the interior of the box place the ammunition, a copy of this email and your contact information W/ phone number. Take to UPS Ground for shipment. We'll evaluate the problem and report our findings. Coy From: Chris Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 7:51 AM To: Experts, BlazerAmmo Subject: RE: Blazer-Ammo.com - Ask the Expert Form Thank you for the quick response. No the ammo has not been fired. The Lot number is C28P5 for the 4 boxes I have left. More than half the cases have these markings. --- On Tue, 6/30/09, Experts, BlazerAmmo wrote: From: Experts, BlazerAmmo Subject: RE: Blazer-Ammo.com - Ask the Expert Form To: chrisjm98 Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 5:49 PM Christopher: we will see jagged ridges on case rim of rounds that have been fed from the magazine, could that be the source of the marks? The steel lips on the magazine will cut the rim and often mark the case wall. What is the Lot # on the package, it will appear like "J23M34". Shoot Straight! Sr. Technical Coordinator -----Original Message----- From: chrisjm981 Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 11:30 AM To: Experts, BlazerAmmo Subject: Blazer-Ammo.com - Ask the Expert Form After purchasing 115 gr 9mm Blazer ammo I noticed a jagged edge on the rim of the case. I have had a few fail to extracts resulting in the gun jamming. I was wondering if it might be a bad lot or if this is normal for that ammo.

I did that when my dad had me shooting his .40 cal H&K USP with hot loads the first time I shot pistol... Needless to say I blew half the leg off the wooden stand trying to fight the recoil.

New one everytime Okay thanks.

Going into New York.

I live on the border of NJ/NY and there is a range 3/4 of a mile over the border. The guy at the range told me since they are an NRA certified range(or something like that) that I can shoot there as long as I go from my home to the range and back without any stops. Anyone know if that sounds right? Also I think it might be time from some more pistol permits (Maksim suggested 20 I believe), and I was wondering if I have to fill out the mental health consent form again if my local police dept. has it on file?

According to their website Do you have to avoid these ammo or they are OK for your G22? I went through 500 rounds of Winchester White box without a problem. Probably 1500 rounds of American Eagle. 1000 Rounds of Blazer. I don't think I've ever used UMC. I didn't change out the extractor or spring. I just dropped in the barrel and went to the range. I did have one failure to extract, but I believe it to be a manufacturer defect. An aluminum Blazer case did get caught in the ejection port(?) once. The rim of the case is jagged(see attached picture) and I have noticed it on many of the Blazer rounds that I have. I still need to contact the manufacturer about there possibly being a bad lot. Not sure though.
