[QUOTE="RetCapt, post: 694485, member: 7102"] Just bought a new Ruger Mk III Hunter 22/45. Great fun to shoot, haven't owned a .22 since the 1970s. First time out, I had one horrible time getting the thing to shoot a full magazine without misfeeds, stovepipes, or FTE's. Ammo used is Eley Sport LR std velocity. Had better luck after I discovered the shooting went better if I held the button on the mag down and let the rounds fall into place. Not like the .45 where it takes some pressure to get 'er done. Improved, but still not good. Went shootin' today and had fewer FTE's, but still averaged about 1 per magazine load. :cry3: Is this new gun screwed up? Is there a break-in period and it's normal, or at least not unusual for this to happen? Or is the 22/45 one of those guns that has an appetite for some brands and will just puke with others?:scratch: What think ye? [attach=full]66612[/attach] [/QUOTE]
