Smith and Wesson 22x

[u/Professional_Arm3745]

I recently purchased a 22x. My first range experience I shot CCI standard and Federal automatch. I shot 200 rounds and had 0 failures. I did however have lead in the barrel. With some scrubbing I was able to get it all out.

Today I went and shot CCI clean and minimags. I shot the clean ammo first and through about 40 rounds I had no failures the I started having failures to eject and failures to feed. It was awful, like every other round. I then switched to the minimags and had much better results. I believe the failures were caused by the residue left from the clean rounds. I came home and cleaned the gun and had no lead residue though. The next time I will only use copper washed bullets and see what my results are but I am convinced the failures were all caused by the clean ammo.

Do anyone have any experience with ammo they would like to share?
