I am having some trouble with my Winchester 190 jamming with the GB. My buddy has a Henry lever rifle in .22lr and he uses them with no problem.

I have never had any problems with these rounds in the past (have owned and shot other .22lr guns with no problem), but this gun hates them it seems.

When I have a problem it is most of the time-- it hits the rim, but the round doesn't fire. Sometimes i can refeed them one at a time and it will fire them.
Yet, it has just flat out jammed twice. I had to pry the round out and it was bend all up.

Any thoughts? Is it for sure the ammo?
