did you guys ever get confirmations after you sent your preorder email? I sent an email a while ago and never got a reply saying they got it, just wondering.

So I got out to the range today to try these out. It was a bit chilly, hovering around freezing. The mags were a bit tight to get 25 rounds in; loaded both CCI mini mags and some Wild Cats I had lying around(wanted to try both the best and the worst ammo I had). With both kinds of ammo, it didn't want to chamber the first round (forgot to mention this is a stock SR-22 with Kidd auto bolt release and buffers), but after that I only had one, maybe two FTF. I think both were with the Wild Cats(big surprise). Although my buddy had his SR22 out as well and ran a mag through, and I think he only had the "first round failing to chamber" problem as well.

Given the cooler weather, the fact that they're brand new, and my rifle could use a good breakdown cleaning, I'd say these mags work quite well. I think once they break in a little bit with some use, they'll work flawlessly.

I did notice they still have a bit of a loose fit, so depending on if you're bench shooting(and resting on the mag), this could affect feeding.
 
Just picked mine up today. The battledyne looks good and fits in well, will test it tommorow! Thanks for great shipping! Hical is good service :)
