Every gun is different when it comes to ammo. You will just need to shoot some to see how your gun likes it.

Some guns like it and sme don't, my 10/22T shoots it well but some of my other guns don't. Most any ammo will outshout this operator. The price seems to be a little heavy, most of the Blazer I have bought was around 20 bucks a brick.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Sounds high, but that might be the going rate in your area.

In my locale it is running $18-$20/brick.

The last lot of it I was using actually shot better in my 22's than CCI SV that I normally use for matches. I haven't been able to find it for about a month right now.

Thought that was about what I remembered, seem like the last I bought was $18.00 and tax, here in the Mid Michigan area. I remember a few years ago when I first shot some in my 10/22 T, damn near fell over Chan it shot that well, better than CCISV for sure. Some guns are particular and others shoot most everything well. Was at the range yesterday shooting an old Nylon 66 that I bought recently, well I just needed one, and it shot Remington subsonic well. A few of my guns do right well with it and no feed or extract problems either. The Nylon 66 should shoot well with Remington ammo, eh?

Price

That price is silly high. I just bought 10 bricks for $200.00 and change. Google will help you find it for about $19.00 a brick. Blazer is my practice ammo and I use Mini Mags for matches.

It is about $17 a brick when available. Currently unavailable at Fleet Farm.
It is my "go to" ammo as CCI Standard Velocity is difficult to get and quite spendy.

I have tried several of the mid grade Eley ammo varieties some time back as well as Wolf. CCI Standard Velocity shot as well for less money. Blazer not as well but availability of funds call for economy right now.

This is in a Mk II 678G
