Since 95% of all .22 lr I shoot is either 550 "Wallybox" or regular 525 Federal coated bulk packs this is my experience. The priming is not 100% around the rim in maybe 1% of rounds. Sometimes all go boom sometimes 1-10 out of a box don't. Maybe a "Monday/ Friday workday" thing. Powder loads are inconsistent in 1% of rounds. Last outing neither my MKII or 10-22 was functioning well. Specifically empties left in the chamber/not ejected. I had a mini bottle of RemOil in my range bag and slicked up (overly wet) both insides, no further troubles. With light loads the bolt needs to have no resistance to cycle. The powder is coarse, large grains too, must be hard to meter precisely on ten million rounds a day. $.02 Joe
