Tried out the plastic-lipped Butler Creek Mags yesterday. Both guns were bone-stock 10/22s. First 500 rounds or so were fine in both guns (with the occasional dud and two or three stovepipes) with a whole bunch of different ammo, sometimes mixed ammo in the same mag. However, as things got progressively dirtier, the mags seized and wouldn't chamber follow-up shots-and if they did, they would stovepipe. Now, I think there are two possibilities: one is that the actual powder-fouling was impairing the function, the other is that the ammo we were using at the time was also contributing/causing the problem (super-cheap federal lead ammo). However, the same ammo was feeding fine earlier in the day.
As an aside, the factory Ruger mags performed flawlessly throughout the day (even with the cheap Federal stuff).
I'll see what happens after a good cleaning and a return to the range.
Tin cans fear my wrath!!!
