Is there anything I can do other than ordering the extractor with FTE in Ruger 10/22 ? Frost 50-75 rounds are fine and then at least one stove pipe out of 5-8 rounds. Polished the bolt, polished the receiver. What else ?
 
I do not think it is ammo. I use Federal bulk. It had no problem until last few trips. It become really bad - about 1 out of 5. I polished it and the problem disappeared for the first 75 rounds. May be something with heating or dirt ?
 
Rifles tend to be picky over the type of ammo used. We can eliminate a few things though.. How often do you clean the barrel/action? Is your takedown screw tight?
 
My 10/22 is picky like that. If I use 38grain hollows it will do that. It works perfect with the 40 grain round nose.

Ok, you can clean your action, but leave the barrel alone. If you search up 10/22 cleaning habbits you will notice some people don't clean until they start having issues (several thousand rounds)..

Otherwise, try other ammo and see what happens

Other ammo is where I would go
 
I have a Kidd extractor in my 10/22 and it works flawlessly...Volquartsen extractors have the same perfect reputation.
If you look at a pic of either one of them next to a factory Ruger extractor, you'll see why it's a well spent $10.
 
Every 10k or so rounds I remove my extractor and give it a quick deburing, before I started doing this I had a string of FTE since I started next to none

Brownells, VQ extractor for $10 if you're military or police, or were...and the VQ hammer for $33, which reduces your trigger pull by quite a bit!

Brownells is $11.99 and $10 shipping...

You are spot on about VQ hammer. Improved the pull dramatically. Too bad I did not order an extractor at a time...

It's less if you specified when you registered that you're a cop or soldier...but who cares about a twonie, lol? I'd get the VQ hammer at the same time
and anything else you need so the shipping isn't a major factor.
Just checked again, with LEO/military discount the VQ ejector is $9.99, a penny less than I'd stated, and the
VQ hammer is $33.10. Close enough to $10 and $33 for my friends, lol...
