I bought 550 box of Winchester 22 hollow point and was surprised to see they were packed in loose bulk. I had many misfires and thought it might be my Marlin lever action, which never did this before. Your review is very insightful and I will now use ICC. I also shot many rounds of old amo 50 year old and never had a misfire with many manufactures. I guess times have changed.
You forgot, temperature , cleaning , if gun not cleaned and you shoot outside cooler temp . It won’t matter what ammo you try to shoot it’s gonna make a dent but it’s not gonna fire because firing pin too slow
My phoenix 22 lr hand gun repeatedly misfiring, i have tried many different ammunition brands but it doesn't help! I sent it to phoenix arms company and they said nothing was wrong with it! What can i do? What can i try? Help please, i haven't fired it much before this started happening.
I live in Canada and yesterday it was very cold and I had about 5 misfires within 200 rounds. I checked each round and the firing pin worked 100% but no firing. Does the cold affect .22lr ? ps: the rounds were CCI Standards
I have a click no bang. Extract the bullet,. Visually see that the firing pin left a gouge in the cartridge but didn't fire. Run it again and it fires. I don't get it… Gsg16
Don't buy any American Eagle red box ammunition. I bought two bricks and it sucks. I only use it for my bolt action .22 lr. A lot of miss-fires but also maybe too weak because it doesn't cycle well on semiautos. I don't have any unusual failures with any other ammo, Remington, Aguila or Winchester.
remington golden bullets, 4 to 5 duds per brick on average, I like them best because they seem to be the most accurate, federals have very sensitive primers, I will get a 2-shot burst out of my ruger mk1 on occasion, and if you throw them on the pavement they will go off too
I have an HK 416 .22 made by umerex and I shoot it suppressed a lot. Very annoying gun to clean and starts having malfunctions around the 400 rd mark. Any suggestions
I found NEW 22 mags. Shot in a new NAA Ranger. Many misfires, I rotated them, till they went off. I took the empty cases home to inspect. I compared to CCI's. They were about .006" smaller on the rim dia. And also on the rim length. Caused the bullet to go in that much farther into the cylinder. So, the hammer couldn't strike the rim deep enough to fire it. Very obvious LITE strike. Even a half strike sometimes. I'm a retired tool&die maker. I know how machines wear & fail, so I won't mention the ammo co. Name. Get some calipers. Check stuff.
THE .22LR AMMO MISFIRES IS BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE BUY CHEAP, ILL MADE PSTOLS/RIFLES LIKE; S+W, RUGER, GLOCK, ETC. – IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO THROW DOWN YOUR MONEY ON A QUALITY FIREARM LIKE; OWL HEAD, RJ REVOLVERS, ETC., YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH THE .22LR WEAPONS WOULD BECOME A REAL JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw the commercial for the Axil. AVOID. Sound quality is terrible and the unit is prone to uncontrollable feedback when you touch an ear bud or turn the hearing protection on and hit the volume up button only 2 or 3 times. A great idea that needs a lot of work.
I got some shit browning 22lr bullets are loose and was just shit but I figured I got a revolver in 22lr that just might shoot this crap better then my semi automatic 22lrs
That is NOT how rimfire cartridge cases are primed. A “blob” (for lack of a better term) of fairly liquid primer compound is dropped into the open case, and then the case is spun so that centrifugal force drives the primer compound into the small gap in the rim.
Agree completely that badly primed cases are largely the culprit, although firearms maintenance (cleanliness and wear) are also contributing factors.

Great information… thanks

Well, maybe if you did call them out, it would result in them making better ammo (COUGH AGUILA COUGH)

Hey @ Mr 22 plinkster have you ever fired a gsg16 .22lr? Love the firearm just hate the click no bang
Cold pin
As in temperature below freezing

Ah shit, it's the king of the kong.
Using aguila or Remington is a surefire way to have misfires, cci =constantly consistent ignition
That was really helpful, the last two I was not aware of
Oh no, I always misshandle my ammo, time to fix that, thanks for the video.

CCI is the best I think
I just had one not fire out of a 500 count Remington Thunderbolt box🤷♂️
I just had a cci pistol match just fail

Dryfire 100 000 time and be a better shoter! I am doing it and a olympic pistol shoter said he do.. bs is not good.
I never had a single misfire until I had to replace a striking pin. Now I have at least one per mag.
Rem duds,or golden turds! 👎👎👎

So….. We should all store and transport our rim fire cartridges heads up!
Nonsense description

I dont dry fire my guns period only accident dry fires hahah
Try beating up a pack of 50 rounds CCI and see if you have any missfires when shooting all of them!

Buy nothing but stingers
Phoenix arms 22 for sure
its april 2021…ammo is being hoarded and held back…problem ammo in the future
Why hasn't any company made a .22LR firing pin the hits in two opposite places on the rim at the same time, to better insure ignition?
REMINGTON MAKES THE SHITTIEST 22 AMMO
My ruger 10/22 doesn't like Winchester red box. The red plastic case 100 pack. For some reason she don't like it
Strangers, ill bet.
Amscor ammo Sucks!
"GOOD TIPS" for the 22lr ammo.
Why dont we get a rim firing pin hitting both sides?
NONE of my 6 10/22's had this issue, perhaps your gun is ghey
I got some shit browning 22lr bullets are loose and was just shit but I figured I got a revolver in 22lr that just might shoot this crap better then my semi automatic 22lrs
