Hey guys.  Just tried out my new SPIKES .22 conversion in my DPMS.  I shot about 100 rounds and i'd say I had maybe 20~30 fail to eject.  (Maybe more>)  I was using Remington 22LR Golden Bullet value pack. (all I can find).  I have heard these are not that good.  Is this what is causing my problem or is it something else.  Is there anything I can do to better the problem.  
Thanks

Golden Bullet does not agree with my 22 conversion.

Other 22LR does, like the Federal AutoMatch.

Thanks.  Thats what I was afraid of.  Now I have 1500 rnds of ammo that is pretty much worthless.   I cant believe now even 22LR is becoming hard to find.

I don't know what it is about conversion kits and ammo likes.

I have an Advantage Arms .22LR conversion kit for my Glock 19.  It loves the Remington Golden Bullets.  In my Ciener kit I get an occasional jam with them, but the Ciener kit loves Federal bulk pack and the AA kit hates the federal, I can't get more than 3 shots off without it jamming.

My Marlin model 60 feeds both bulk packs just fine.  

I just buy what ever is in stock, it will work in one of my conversion kits or the Marlin.

I can get through about 100 rounds of golden bullet in my Ciener kit, and after that it suddenly becomes jam city.

Buy a cheap 22 bolt action or maybe something like a 10/22 that will eat it all up and smile...

Trim 3 coils off the recoil spring and try again, but do bear in mind that RemGB doesn't perform well in most AR's.
If you still have problems, check the fit of the extractor (should hold cases snugly on the bolt face), and also check for mag lip contact and also if the bolt is hitting the bolt stop.

Remington golden bullets don't work with the spikes.

Mine actually runs EVERYTHING BUT the remington gold bulk packs.
