you know. rimfires have to be broken in.
when i first got my 22/45, it wouldn't cycle SV.
on the rimfire forum, they told me to run a brick of HV thru it to break it in.
i did, n then everything was fine.
as far as the reputed unreliability of rimfire ammo, that only applies to bulk.
i use cci sv for hunting n wolf for serious work n have never ever had a failure.
the wolf will give me a 7/8'' group at 25 yards n the cci sv will give me 1 1/8'' group.
so, i have no need for super expensive match.
i just can't feed garbage.
heck, wolf only costs 11 cents/round.
there is no saving buying bulk for 6 cents if you can't hit anything.
