So I have been to the range a couple of times in the past two weeks. I am shooting a .22 lr s/w, I was indeed shooting garbage (550 rounds for 10.50 at meijer, and unlike walmart they let you buy ammo while you are carrying a firearm, just be prepared to show a permit or license)
So I took the advice from the man at the range and bought his CCI ammunition, he told me the gun would never jam again if i used this type of ammo, or at least rarely.
I cleaned the gun, and shot with the CCI (40 grain compared to the 30 grain garbage) and it still stuck up a few times on me, not enough to call it rare, but not always, at least 1 time every 2 or 3 magazines.
At anyrate, the gun is clean and I am using better ammunition, do they make a higher grain round than 40 for a .22? could it just not have enough power? Or is this a chronic problem with rimfire ammunition (at least with semiauto)
If anyone has some insight I'd like to hear it.
