GSG 16 issues - bolt not moving with charging handle.

Did you try different ammo to find a sweet spot ?

I haven’t yet. Hoping that’s the issue. The first time I loaded the magazines I wasn’t counting and they held 24 rounds. When I loaded 22 in then it cycles better with less failures to load. Was using Federal. Will try other ammo next time I take it out.

I ran a quick test last weekend, just four mags with different brands I had on hand. The Federal Lightnings were the worst, didn't cycle well at all, gave up with half a mag still loaded. Remington Golden Bullets had a few jams. The CCI Clean poly coated had one. The Winchester Wildcats that my 10/22 absolutely hates actually ran flawlessly. All mags were loaded with 24 rounds, maybe that contributed to the problems.
