Well, okay. For a while I couldn't walk around, talk, or chew, much less hold a rifle, but yesterday I managed a trip to SRC.

I blew through a total of forty rounds of Eley .22LR target in the space of an hour. No signs of misfiring. Used the same rifle (single shot, bolt-action, no magazine). None of the hangfires, squib-loads, or anything. No misfires at all, the trigger broke and gun fired just like that, no more hearing the firing pin fall and then the little pop. No more 'punph!' sounds or anything. Each round ejected easily, no worries.

I'm not so sure what to think now. What do you suppose caused all those hangfires and squibs three weeks ago?

Eley 22

Interesting!!

I was just out on the weekend with my built up 10/22 and was shooting Eley Target (yellow box) for the first time.

Had a couple of misfires and duds. One bullet even lodged in my barrel. I thought it was just cause our humidity and temps were sky high. Asked the dealer and he had not rec'd any other complaints.

Anyway I have a few more boxes and guess I will try them (will bring a cleaning rod). Kinda expensive ammo for duds. Makes you wonder about QC.
