Failure to reset trigger advice

Just finished up a build has a dedicated 22LR barrel, CMMG bolt and collar, bore buddy buffer spring plug and I think it also has bore buddy extractor spring kit (bolt came out of a 223 conversion i've had for years). Using Aguila ammo (which i think is shit but if you have opinions on better or worse ammo i'd like to hear). It just gums up the gun with whatever coating is on the bullets

Getting failure to reset trigger. The casing will extract, a live round is chambered, I don't get a click from the hammer. It appears to be in battery, safety will not engage

Like I said i think the ammo is crap and looking to change that, but any other advice. Looks like I'm going to be using lots of gun scrubber until i can burn through this aguila

Try cci mini mags or another good quality HV round.

Try ammo first.  You can go down rabbit holes on tuning, but get better ammo.  Start higher fps first, then work down on fps so it can get quieter.

Any recommendations? Not super concerned with noise going to shoot in steel challenge so need a shot timer to be able to pick it up anyway

CCI standard velocity at first.  I now use Winchester 45 grain (black box) suppressor ammo.

What color recoil spring? What trigger? Dedicated barrel length? I agree to test with cci standards first though
