Ammo brand made a little difference, but all were sticky. My .22's since have been Ruger autos, which have been very satisfactory.

That would have to be a gun problem, not a pressure problem. I wonder if it is due to lead building up in the chambers.
Another interesting comparison - I have a 66-4 and a 686-6. Shooting the same loads in each (3.5 gr Bullseye, 158gr LSWC in magnum cases), the 686 requires a tap to the ejector to extract fired cases. They just fall out of the 66. My assumption is the 66 has smoother, better polished chambers. Obviously there isn't any difference in pressure, and this is a very low pressure target load.
