My Makarov doesn't seem to feed or fire CCI ammo very well, has anyone else encountered this? Its only with the aluminum case ammo.... perhaps a feed ramp issue?

Brass cases expand and contract more during the firing cycle , and brass is somewhat self lubricating against steel.
Because the Mak is blowback operated aluminum cases are not the best idea , besides foreign 9x18 is pretty available now.
wonderful, I'll have to pick some more ammo up. It sure is fun to shoot!!!
A fellow mak shooter had the same problem. It looks like a function of Al on Al with it because he staggered with surplus ammo and it functioned flawlessly
