[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3998618, member: 5412"] I've noticed a huge difference in .22WMR ammo loads, and your correct, they typically are very picky in the semiauto guns. Just for a little history that I'm sure most of you already know, AMT came out with some pistols in .22 mag with 4" barrels. The first series was a bust but they sold them. Very unreliable They soon discovered the .22 mag round recoil impulse was opening the action way too soon, like milliseconds soon, so they stippled the chamber on the next series to slow it down some which my model has. It runs the second half of the mag just fine but the first half is jam o matic. I bought an aftermarket mag that won't fit, but maybe the spring and follower in the old mag might help? [USER=43171]@Cowcatcher[/USER], if your wanting a reliable .22 mag, I'd go with a Henry lever gun. Our Gun Club has steel challenge matches, and once a year, it's lever gun time. Some of those folks can run those levers pretty darned fast and the rifle doesn't care what ammo you feed it. Can't be letting those dillers get away and cause more damage. [/QUOTE]
