I've ran right at 400rds through mind and had one Remington Peters lead nose not fire. So far mind has been the "Rifle of the Year". Hope it stays that way....
First two range sessions with it, tons of FTF
- Thread starter soupy
- Start date
Hope the OP get things worked out.
I just ran the first 200 rounds, thru my recently purchased 15-22 today. I had absolutely no problems with feeding firing, etc. I paid attention to the posts about careful loading of the magazines with good staggering of the rounds. I used CCI Mini Mags and Mini Mag HP.
Was able to put 32 rounds thru the quarter sized central target hole. The other 18 rounds were very close by. Distance was 50 ft using stock open sights.
My 57 year old eyeballs need some help and I'll put some kind of magnification scope on. The Bifocals screw/blur up the peep sight images...
Very pleased with the 15-22. If I'd had something like this when I a teen, entire generations of gophers would not have existed subsequently. My single shot just wasn't fast enough to get them all....

I ran another flawless 200rds through mind yesterday. 100rds of Winchester Hollow Point 333 round value pack and a 100rds of CCI Mini-Mag Hollow Points.

In my case, there are also other eyesight issues that make regular sights tough to use.
Red dots are pretty good, but at 100 yards, many of the dots completely cover the bullseye.
Eyesight just goes downhill with age.. The peep sights worked great when I was on the HS shooting team 40+ years ago....
Shooting Mini-Mags the gun is near flawless now. S&W sent me replacement mags but they still won't play nice with random other ammo like Winchester or Federal. I do have one mag that will let me gun shoot anything though so that's a good sign. In any case, I'm probably going to stick with CCI ammo from now on for this gun. Blazers and Standard Velocity stuff are cheap and plenty available for me around my area.
