I've been shooting blazer lately as well and geting very good results. I don't think it's as fast as mini-mags or thunderbolts but still way faster than most match ammo. It's not quite as accurate as mini-mags in mine but is a pretty close second (and way cheaper!)
FWIW I swapped out the 4x for a 3-9x40 Nikon buckmasters with turrets (under the caps). Saddly my groups have not improved any at 50 yards. Oddly maybe a bit at 25. (they actually got worse at 50 but I think it was just a bad day or something.
Anyway I've been tweeking my 7 mag loads as plinking with it at 100 yards lately while the 7 mag cools down. With high rings it seems CCI blazer is 27 clicks (1/4 MOA) to go from a 50 yard zero to a 100 yard. Thunderbolts and most other high-vel are 4-6 clicks less elevation.
Thing surprised me with blazer at 100 yards. Still have not shot wolf yet though I have a box waiting. Might slip over after work today. Gonna have to do the trigger job on my 7 mag...going back and forth...well... it's bad when your .22 is more accurate and sweeter shooting at 100 yards than your deer rifle-LOL That little trigger is pretty sweet on the mod 5
