Winchester M22 ammo problems

[Goldslammer]

Anybody else have trouble with this ammo?
I lucked into 1000rnds the last time it was in stock at Cabelas, but it's nothing but misfires and duds.
Seems like 2-3 duds in every 25rnds, multiple primer strikes didn't even help.
I know they had a recall, but my lot numbers weren't included, by my results they should have been!

Never a problem. It's my favorite .22 ammo for my M&P 15-22

Now I'm convinced I need to try some of the stuff I bought last year.

My numbers are gtg as far as the recall is concerned.

Lot-o-problems with this stuff.

Might be a problem with the gun. Weak firing pin spring or short or worn firing pin.

( Specific to this particular thread )

Wow , all my rimfire guns must all be defective. They all seem to work with everything I feed them . (One I have been told by a gunsmith only likes RN rounds , but I haven't personally seen any problems. Biggfootette's Mosquito even works with Bulk. )

 

[Biggfoot44]

Except for 10/22's . I have a new , and a parts gun , and neither one is even vaguely reliable with anything at all. But rather than believing that a dozen flavors of ammo that work in everything else , suddenly become defective when fed to a 10/22, I blame the guns.

I use it in both an HK416 and an Advantage Arms .22 Glock conversion kit and absolutely 0 problems with this ammo ever. It's some of the most reliable stuff I've found.

Crap ammo goes in my Bearcat.

It will eat anything.

In my Marlin 795 flawless and some of the most accurate ammo through it.

In my Sig Mosquito every failure you can imagine.

 

[Goldslammer]

We were shooting a 10-22 a SW MP15 22 and 2 Marlins. We had multiple failures in all the guns, stovepipes and duds. Like I said, we spent more time clearing guns than firing guns. There's absolutely no excuse for a round not firing after 3 solid primer strike from a Marlin 39a lever action.
We switched to a brick of CCI blazers and had zero problems.

Now I will say I bought a 1000rnds of the same M22 last summer, and had almost no problems, other than the odd stovepipe, maybe 1 in 300rnds.

supply and demand. sometimes quality suffers.

My SR-22 eats anything and I had a FTF in the 1st ten rounds with M22...but I have to shoot a lot more of it to really judge.

 

[tonioaj]

I also had problem with my sr22 it wasn't the ammo I sent it back to ruger problem was the magazine disconnect works great now. And I also use the same Ammo you used m22

Check first that it wasn't in the recalled lots.

M22 has always worked well for me.
