RE: 5 duds in approx. 100 rounds? Remington 22lr

We have the same problem with the bulk Remington ammo. We can normally feed the duds through our rifles and they will fire. Though we switched to Winchester and Federal and haven't had as many problems with them. I figure when we are just playingg aroundI don't mind a few duds since we can save money. I've notived when we buy the more expensive rounds we don't ever have any problems with duds. Though since we go through around 1500 rounds on a weekend with our pistols I figure 5 or so duds is a small price to pay to save some money.

I know that when i was using the remmington brick ammo i was getting a few (maybe 10) duds in the box.
I bought the federal brick and I don't recall having more than 1 or 2 in the last few boxes total.

i use CCI, and never have any problems, especially since i buy cases of it...i dunno, never really shot anything else through my 10/22

The CCI works great through rifles but it will not shoot in my pistol. It will fire and then the case will jam up. I think they may be loaded to higher pressures and the case is expanding.

I was at the range today firing said brand and caliber and had 5 duds (pulled the trigger, nothing. ejected the cartridge and there'd be a dent on the rim just like there should be but no shot was fired).

Is that normal?

The ammo was purchased roughly March of this year and has been stored in a military surplus ammo can when not actually being used and has never gotten wet.

I've already tossed the box just because it was the last of them otherwise I might have to pitch a fit had it been the first 100 or so. I don't remember any duds up until this point today, though.

Any input on this?

I buy mine in bricks and can honestly say that maybe 3 at the most wont go off out of 500. I had shot off a bricks of them and they all went off before. You might have a gunsmith look at your gun.The fireing pin might be worn down or your spring is getting to loose.If you got another 22 to try them duds in and see if it is your gun first. Browning deer rifles had that problem.The pin wouldn't work with remington ammo all the time.Pissed me off when you got a deer in sight and squeeze the trigger click.I went thru 3 shells before one went off. The gunsmith told me that browning does not recommend remmington shells for their guns.After a new longer fireing pin was installed, I never had that problem again.

How coincidental, it was a Browning Buckmark pistol. Research time!

Same problem here. It happens with about 15% of 100 rounds with me. It's just cheap ammo. If you get the expensive rounds it rarely happens.

Yeah, I have some of the minimag ammo and I have never had a misfire. But that stuff is like $7 for 100 rounds. I just use it as fail safe ammo when I am going plunking at live targets.

More than likely a firearm issue

I had a bunch of Eley's misfire on me. Happend frequently. Eley is THE best rimfire ammo, period. Especially when it comes to quality control.

I rebuilt that Ruger 77/22 a few months ago, and while I did it, I replaced the firing pin. Have put over 1000 rounds of all sorts of different stuff through it since, and haven't had the first hiccup.

I suspect that the problem with some (not all, but some) misfires in a rimfire comes from the firing pin. Everytime you shoot it (but espeically when it is dry fired) you are doing just a bit of harm to your firing pin.
