Was this happening before you replaced the springs?

I would try a few different ammo brands before making any decision.

10-22
Sir;
Best thing to do with a 10-22 is just accept it, shoot it and other than tightening the barrel block allen screws after a brick of shells - leave it be! Harry B. |

Has the factory bolt handle been replaced with an oversized after market handle? The extra weight will slow the bolt.

no the only aftermarket parts are the ejector , mag holder , trigger . rest is stock. and what sucks is that somtimes when it mis feeds , the bullet will get jammed at about a 45 angle and when the bolt comes foward it just does hit the rim , and you guys know the rest . i will take some pics of the acutual problem

croc4 + 1
This would be a logical first step on a fix. The last time I encountered this problem, it was due to Federal bulk ammo and yet, this same amo shoots fine in my other 10/22's. I had some older Remington bulk ammo, not thunderbolts and that corrected the problem. I find some bulk ammo to be underloaded. I have never had any kind of a problems with Winchester Wildcats or better grades of ammo. Be Safe !!! |
