CCI was never as "waxy" in the past. New manufacturing process ?? Too bad, I'm done buying them also. I'll switch back to Federal Auto Match, which I've also used extensively--great performance and CLEAN; although about ten percent more money.I can't speak for the Blazers but I bought some CCI AR Tactical .22 rounds (yes, I know... the whole world is going tactical crazy) and they were extremely waxy (so much so that my 22/45 didn't like them and my mag loader wouldn't feed them). I didn't notice them being dirtier or cleaner than others, but I did notice that the Federal Blue Box ran perfectly all day long and the CCIs gave me fits.
And made my fingers all sticky and weird. Definitely won't be buying any more of them.
