I think you got some pretty good answers. As for seasoning, that is just a myth. They stopped seasoning in the mid 1800s when they started making barrels out of modern steel. In fact, toy cannot season a barrel made out of modern steel. The old iron barrels had open pores and required seasoning. This also applies to modern muzzle loaders, unless you find a builder who makes his own barrels out of iron. So, don't give it a second thought.
Are Blazer 40gn .22LR and CCI Mini-Mag 40gn LR the Same?
Hello,
I got to looking at the specs on these two cartridges. Both are 40gn @ 1235fps, and both are headstamped CCI.
I would like to use the Blazers to practice and the CCI to hunt. However, I don't want to be contaminating the CCI lube with Blazer lube or vice versa. Therefore, does anyone know if they use the same stuff? I don't want to sight in one only to find out that the POI has shifted and end up having to shoot 20 just to get the barrel re-seasoned.
The CCI Mini-Mags let me hit small game at 100yds; the Blazer is not 100% consistent beyond 50yds or so. In other words, given a 1" PB for the vitals, I'm confident of hitting it with the Mini-Mags, not so much the Blazers.
I do form both in D Rock's tool, but Blazers just have more variation from cartridge to cartridge when powder charges and bullet weights are concerned.
Thanks,
Josh
