I recently aquired a new 10-22 (Backpacker takedown) with 4 included factory magazines.
In shooting it initially I began using some Remington Thunderbolt ammunition to basically use it up, as isnt a favorite of mine.
In loading the first rotary magazine, after getting 3 or 4 in the magazine it jammed. I had to take the magazine apart to remove the rounds.
I had an older 10-22 magazine from an older rifle and it loaded and fed these same Thunderbolt cartridges without an issue.
I then tried loading the Thunderbolt ammunition in the 3 other new magazines and found that it jammed the magazines in 2 of the 3. So in total it jammed in 3 of the 4 new magazines.
After taking the magazines apart and emptying them I found the the Thunderbolt ammunition would consistently jam them during the loading process.
I then tried a couple different types of other ammunition, CCI, other Remington and the magazines loaded and fed normally.
I pitched a call into Ruger and they agreed to send out one new magazine to see if that worked.
Wondering if any other members have encountered anything similar?
As stated earlier, the Remington Thunderbolt is not a favorite of mine, and I wont be buying it in the future, but wondering if the new magazines Ruger are producing have been problematic to anyone else.
