You'll have better success with ignition using any ammo that's lubed like Eley, RWS, Wolf, Norma, etc. A big part of the ignition problem is the thicker/heavier lube used on most rimfire ammo. The cooler it gets the worse it is also. Even in warm weather it leaves a thicker residue in the chambers and that causes ignition problems along with the fact that some of it simply isn't truly seated all the way when first put in. If you don't believe this (I speak from a lot of experience) just get some and try it. FWIW, I recently started shooting some of the Norma-Tac std vel stuff just to try it out and it's amazingly accurate. It's been shooting better than my Eley out of my handguns and my CZ. I was pleasantly surprised by this and being on sale at Cabela's at forty bucks a brick instead of seventy bucks a brick didn't hurt either.
