| I took my 22/45 to the range last weekend and enjoyed it very much and it worked perfect for what I purchased it for. However it had a feeding problem that would happen every third mag or so and almost half the rounds especialy the first round would dive into the feed ramp and put a big gash in the center of the bullet. I was using Golden Bullets from Rem. Does any one have an idea of what was going on? Thanks. |

Clean it, then try some different ammo. 22 autoloaders can be fickle on what ammo they like. No rhyme or reason to it, just the nature of the beast. Can be especially fickle with the bulk pack hollow points. Buy a half a dozen different brands and see which one your gun likes. |

You can also order a "parts kit" that includes all parts necessary to build your own mags for less than half retail of mags in the store. Jim |

Fortunately my Ruger 22/45 can chew through just about any .22 round made unlike other .22's I own that are not Rugers. I do try to stay away from the hollow points though. You might have just gotten a bad batch of ammo, I got a box from Wally World one time and about a 1/3 of them just would not fire. I finally gave up and tossed the rest of the box and shot another brand with no problem. |

Usually the Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor (costs $12) will cure many of the Ruger 10/22 & Ruger MKI,MKII,MKIII and 22/45 jams, missfeeds, extraction problems ect. www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=363360 |
