These 10/22 drum mags any good?

I was going to post a range report but I will answer your question. Just got two GSG 110rd magazines for 10/22 in the mail today.
Straight to the range( gravel pit ) for a plink. Both magazines failed. They just would not load the rounds from the magazine. There is a metal clip that retains the rounds in the magazine.
This clip, combined with spring tension is causing the round to jam in the lips of the magazine. Also, because the round is not feeding properly, the next round in the stack is being damaged.
I have e-mailed both SFRC and GSG to see if there is a fix. Not a happy shooter.
 
A friend of mine bought one . We tried it in his 10/22 and my 10/22 and . it . sucked !
Constant jamming . I'll stick with my steel slip 25s .
 
Another update. I took the time to look at the videos on GSG's website. I tried the Federal bulk ammo they suggested and that cycled fine. It didn't cycle through 100% but that was an ammo storage mistake on my part. I had stored the 100rds of Federal that I had in a baggie with some Winchester bulk ammo. I guess there was some cross contamination of the waxed rounds. My personal problem now is that I have thousands of rounds of CCI Minimags that will not work in these magazines. O well, I guess SFRC will get another ammo order from me as soon as they have more Federal Bulk ammo in stock.
 
We need to concatenate all these GSG 110rd threads into one, since I think a bunch of people are gonna have data/experiences to share.
