...does it take to "jam" up your gun, I put more that 550 rounds through my SS conversion and it did not slow down at all...
550 in one sitting, its got a bit higher round count than that |

I'm confidant my guns will run longer than I can afford to feed them. before it gets clogged up with carbon?  If we're talking about one sitting, yes. Over an extended time? I dunno, I've never not cleaned my AR beyond 2-3k rounds, but never had issues even in the sand and dirt. I'm satisfied my Glock would go damn near forever. ETA: Like Dave said above, ammo makes a huge difference. I generally shoot Federal and haven't had issues. Every once in a while I'll come across TulAmmo or some such retched stuff, and it gets nasty quick. But I've never taken it to the point of gumming up and causing issues. |
| Its all about what ammo you put in it for sure. I had some White Box Winchester Expert from Wally Word or similar stuff one time that leaded up the barrels on a couple of my .22's in 200-300 rounds. That was while I was at the range one day. I had to take a rod and knock a big chunk of lead out of the barrel! Couldn't figure out why the gun was shooting so badly. Another pistol kept failing to function on the same stuff. I threw it away! Same goes for those "Wildcats" that Remington made. I had lots of problems. But then I read where others loved them. Like they say, .22 is the most inconsistent stuff out there. You have to try it in YOUR gun to know what will work best. |

Winchester 555 is good stuff as are CCI Mini Mags... Dave S You know, the CCI Mini Mags WILL NOT run in my main .22LR Evolution upper, but EVERYTHING else does... INCLUDING Remington GB's. :P Anyway, how long it will run depends on what kind of ammo your using in it and how clean/dirty it is. |
