However, a few suggestions with your HP22.

My HP22s work fine when you change the recoil spring every 500-600 rounds. You can buy them for ~$2 each thru Phoenix. I buy them 5 at a time and always have some in my range bag. When the gun starts to fail to feed and it's been 500 or more rounds just change the recoil spring.

You said you had many failures to fire but they fired on the next chambering with them. I've never had light primer strikes but I keep the firing pin channel cleaned out. I clean it every time I put in a new recoil spring and it works like a charm.

So, if you haven't cleaned the firing pin channel and have more than 500 rounds on you recoil spring, I think it's the gun and not the ammo. I love my HP22 and a little maintenance goes a long way with it.

Thank you for this advice. I will be looking into purchasing these recoil springs, as I have had this HP22A for a while and have never replaced this spring. Would probably help a lot.
