10/22 First round strays

[supernova]

Ive got a theory. Ive noticed with all mags, as the top round is stripped off the lips, the rim gouges the bullet of the next round. It puts a good little mark straight up the bullet, even with the lower pressure of a well broken in rotary mag. Your top round wont have the gouge and this could be causing the flyer. Try this: load your mag up, pop it in and #### the rifle twice, chambering and then ejecting the top round, gouging the next and chambering it. Let us know how she goes!

Isn't that what some call a fouling shot? .

That is usually the shot right after cleaning the barrel, rubs out any thing left in the barrel from the cleaning as it dosent matter how may patches you run through ,there will still be something left in there .The first shot can be off because of it
