Sorry - I tried to find your post and couldn't fine it. i'm just curious . . . in what way were they "locking the cylinder" on your revolver? On a center fire cartridge you could get that from insufficient crimp and "bullet jump" but I've never heard of that on a 22 rimfire and the base/rim should easily clear the recoil shield . . . . leading problems at the forcing cone?
I have several 22 revolvers and have never had any real issues with any 22 rimfire ammo brands other than some are dirtier than others. I highly doubt that you will have any issues with CCI.
Thanks.

Bedbugbilly, "locking the cylinder down" may not be the best way to word it. Due to the thickness of the rim on Remington golden bullets and the tight tolerances of the Ruger Single Ten, the cylinder doesn't always fully rotate and I have to grasp the cylinder and finish the rotation. This doesn't happen with Federal or Fiocchi and I don't expect any problems with CCI.

I think it's actually caused by the deformation of the rim, after being hit with the hammer / firing pin... & may be just as much a problem with softer brass, as with thicker rims
I had a Single 10... never had any issues using Federal ammo...
... but I couldn't fall in love with it... ejecting cases was a pain, with no reverse index, & the sweet spot for ejecting, not falling on a "click" I found if I was in a hurry, & with the chambers so close in the cylinder, that I'd often miss one empty, & have to do a full revolution to pick it up...
... it did make a fine project gun, for my centerfire 257 Special though

Bucket of Remington Golden Bullets
Maybe loose powder is getting under the rims.
I have used a few buckets of the Remington Golden rounds in my revolvers and find that unburned powder always gets under the star extractor and will cause the same problem. It seems these rounds have really large powder granules compared to other ammo and a lot of it is unburned after firing and gets under the star. This pushes all the rounds closer to the frame when the cylinder is closed and can make it bind up.
When I use this ammo I always blow out the loose powder before loading.
