Butler Creek: Savage A22 - 22 LR Magazine 25 rds capacity

[ambishooter]

I am looking for a reliable Savage A22 22LR magazine. I got a Butler Creek 25-rounder, very finicky, loading is tricky, and feeds unreliably. I would say feeding is just 50% reliable. I was using Federal Automatch (bulk) and Federal Champion (bulk). However, the Savage 10-rounder is reliable. I could have bought 4 of this 25-round magazine, luckily, I held off until I tried this one.

Any recommendation for a hi-cap A22 magazine?

First, I'd suggest you use something other than 'bulk ammo'. I had an A22 and it fed Just Fine thru the BC-25, and so does my B-22-FV. A major problem with the A-22 I had was using HP ammo, they often would catch o the chamber lip. What 'symptoms' does your feed probs have? And the 10-round mags will wear work better if you "un-wind" the mag spring. Attached is a doc I made for that mod.
There's not any other A-22 mags that I'm aware of.

I believe, HPs are the ones I have. I will try RNs next time. This is a simple and a usable mod. The 10 rounder has indeed a higher tension during loading. The BC 25- rounder is easier to load because of the red tab.

I have a A22. The Butler Creek mags are very finicky. I also shoot the Fed Champion blue box in 40 gr. I have two of them. 1 is very very unreliable, the other isn't as bad, if I don't shoot as fast as I can go. The Savage rotary mag is solid af.
