CCI Blazer - Wax coating and semi-autos.

[frpaquette]

I've noticed that CCI Blazer's (40gr RN) have a wax coating on them. Have any of you experienced problems with this wax accumulating in the action or magazine of your semi-auto 22's? Why would this wax coating be there in the first place?

It's actually one of few rounds that my 10/22 likes. They have also worked well in my 96/22 and GSG1911.

I've never used cci blazer,but have had trouble with wax coated 22 shells in semi autos & pumps & bolt actions but by far the worst was in the semis I believe this is do to the speed of the action as the casing is still hot when ejected it melts some of the wax that got scraped off when round was chamberd and runs down in to clip & action.I have had 22 semi-auto rifles & hand guns go full auto becuase of this so I try to stay away from wax coated shells.the wax coating I believe is to help keep moisture out exspecaily if being shipped over seas.
