I think it might be partially due to the type of ammo, or specifically the bullet shape. Also, it seems to work better if I carefully align the rims when loading the mag. But after jamming several times I gave up experimenting and have just been using the 10-rounders.

For sighting in loads from the bench the 10-rd mags are perfect. But when I take the family to the gravel pit for plinking it would be nice to be able to have several loaded 25-rd mags and not have to reload them so many times like I do with the 10-rd ones.

Do you all get similar cartridge jams in the 25-rd mags, or is this just me? I don't see much discussion about this and for me it is the only frustration I have with the 15-22. Any tips on how to avoid it? Ammo to avoid? Loading technique that is not super tedious?
Here we go
