Ruger 10/22 Cycling issues

[DeVilliers]

Afternoon all,

My 10/22 has a big ammo cycling issue. More especially on the 25round mags. In the standard 10 round mag, zero issues.
I have 3 x 25 round mags and not one runs reliable.
Is it a ammo issue? I've tried standard and sub sonic. Armscor Guerilla Ammunition

Or do I need to look elsewhere?

Try some other brands first

What 25 rnd'ers do you have - the Ruger ones? or the knockoffs?

Bought some Remingtons now to go and try out.

I have 1 original Ruger 25 round and 2 knockoffs. All give the same issue.

Try a HV ammo. Winchester.

What 25rnd Mag are you using?

I run Winchester high velocity in mine - have the Ruger BXP25's. Runs well, but it is also prone to issues from time to time. Normal run of the mill stoppages - mostly feeding issues, I think that is linked to some misformed rounds not feeding correctly.

How old are the mags - try opening them up and giving them a clean. Might also be adding to your issues. Some ammo - perhaps your Guerilla ones as well - have a waxlike coating that takes the joy out of shooting your Ruger.

Try a few more brands ammo as T said.

I also have the same problem... I have run almost all the brands through the 25 ruger mags and it mis feeds most of the time... I have also read online that you need to lightly oil the spring inside the mag... I will be trying it and will report back if it was a fix... I mostly use the 10 round mags. No issues with them.

Seems the problem is more common than I thought.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll attempt to service the mags and use other ammo.

I'll give feedback on the results.

I've had good results with CCI SV and Winchester T22. Winchester White Box and most Remingtons gave a lot of problems. I take apart and clean the Ruger 25 shot mags from time to time. I avoid dropping the mags in the dust, even if it costs me time on a stage (Mini-Rifle). I make sure the chamber is clean and the bolt well oiled (not excessive). My 10/22 is quite reliable, but like most S/L .22's it has its occasional off days.
