22 ammo

After working on guns for so many years I found that most of the problems with 22 ammo was usually the gun itself. About 6 of 10 22s brought to me to be fixed were usually fixed by a GOOD cleaning. 22s have an awful lot of wax on them and they sometimes gunk up the works. The Remington Nylon guns were really prone to that. Anyway..it might not be the ammo as much as you think. Old guns quite often become a bit worn too. 22s mostly from neglect along with the use. BTW..never dump ammo in a stream....give it to someone else. Their gun might shoot it. I had a Remington 12 that wouldn't shoot the Rem Vipers either...cleaned that devil and it goes just fine with anything
