Do you think this is my problem with the Victory. I cleaned every one of them before I go back to the range. I'm also going to try several different brands. So much for buying the good stuff. I hope this is the problem with the Victory. Very accurate when it worked. Any advice?

I have ONLY used cci mini mags in my new Victory. CCI Mfg.#0030. the 40 grain round nose, high velosity copper plated ammo. Spoke to S&W customer service and they strongly recommended using copper plated lead round nose HV for flawless operation. I now have 800 rounds through it and not one problem at all. I have no reason to change. This ammo has NO wax build up on it. I have tried other lead round nose in my Ruger 10/22 that had what ever that stuff is on the lead bullet and it consistently jammed. Switched to CCI #0030 and it fires hundreds of rounds at a time with no problems, perfectly. I might eventually try other ammo but for now this stuff is working very well.
