The chamber of the Winchester isn't that tight. The problem occurs before the round gets to the chamber. The 9422 has a 2 piece battery arrangement. The round is fed up from the bottom via a channel in the front part. It is here that the round fails to remain captive and falls out before it can be put into battery. Kinda hard to explain without pictures or a hands on. I believe the tolerance in the front piece is to blame, and the CCI's are just the right size. A conversation with a friend revealed that his 9422 sufffers no similar problem. The 9422, in any configuration is the same regardless of length. I think this one is going to go back to the factory for a check out. I only wish I could combine the reliable feed of the Browning lever .22 with the great trigger of the Winchester.Course with my luck I would get the terrible trigger of the Browning and the terrible feed of the Winchester
