Yeah, I was trying some of this Aguila 60 grain .22LR stuff in my 10/22T and Man, was the action black when I got done! Why is that? My Federal Gold Medal don't do that, even if I was to shoot twice as much...........Anyone have similar experience with the Aguila stuff?
 
It probably has to do with the large amount of exposed lead in the rounds. I haven't fired any myself, but the pic I saw of some looked like a real long bullet in a 22 Short case giving it an OAL that is identical to a 22LR. If this is so, the shorter case my have something to do with unburned powder fouling the chamber on ejection as well.
