actually tried much hotter ammo with no diff. the thing is clean and spotless inside. yes ive thought about a different spring but havent got one yet i should leave it locked back when its sitting see if that helps maybe
There was an experiment done with springs in pistol magazines to see what would happen if the magazine were filled and locked away for a year.
The fellow doing the experiment lost his job and the pistol mags were locked away for close to twenty years, before someone came across them and the note book inside.
All of the mags functioned flawlessly.
About the only thing that will take tension out of that spring will be to shorten it by cutting off a few rings or applying heat.
If the hotter ammo isn't working, it's not the spring. If it's as clean as you say, likely the extractor has an issue. Maybe the edge has lost its sharpness and won't grip the rim properly? Not likely either, because it's extracting the case and blowing the bolt far enough back to feed another cartridge.
I would say you likely have an ejector issue or maybe this from rimfire central

yea i agree its most likely not the ejector
what i do to all my 10/22s is radius and polish the bolt, polish the guide rod, smooth out the inside of the action, polish the face of the hammer.
when my friend brought his 10/22 ove that was completely stock i found it was WAY harder to #### the bolt with the factory parts, so if its hard to do by hand then its harder for the gun to cycle when firing ammo which will lead to jams.
now i have hardly any jams
you could also upgrade the extractor but i would do that last.
