Default marlin 22 mag

i just traded for a new marlin 22 win mag ,model 982s. its a stainless bolt action with the seven round clip. the gunis new and never been shot, i got 2 new boxes of 40gr. cci maxi-mags hp. after cleaning the packing greasei shot it 9 times yesterday after i got it andhad no problems, today i put a scope on it andput 13rounds through it with two rounds not firingi think the 9th and 11th rounds but the unfired rounds had good firing pin marks and i put them back in the clip and both fired the second time. reckon it was the gun or the bullets. i have never had any bad cci 22 cal shells before and this is the first marlinrimfire i have owned ,i dont know if maybe i didn't bolt the bolt hard enough or it was the bullets. i am going to shoot the rest of the box of thecci'sthrough my other mag rifle and shoot a box of super x shellsthrough the marlin and see if i have any misfires, i have always used the super x shells but the store didn't have them so my wife got the cci's. anyone had any misfires with this type gun or the ccimaxi-mag bullets.
