Greetings all,
I am wondering if any of you have had the same experience with your .22 revolvers that I have had. I own 3, ruger single six, taurus 94, and s&w 43, all of them experience a problem reliably firing match grade ammo. Federal, tenex, cci standard velocity, green tag, PMC match. None of these fire reliably in any of my revolvers. I think it is because of the slow burning powder and different priming compound used in low velocity match grade ammo. All of these types of ammo fire reliably in my semi autos. In my revolvers it is typical to have two misfires per cylinder full, pull the trigger a second time and they all fire usually.
Remington subsonic hollowpoints fire reiably in all of my revolvers as does any type of high velocity ammo.
I think it has to do with the smaller firing pin size in my revolvers. You need to use ammo which employs a faster burning powder for relaible firing in a .22 revolver.
What has your experience been???
