How many rounds have you put through your 15-22?

[kilo6echo]

Just want to start a reliability of the 15-22 thread. Please be honest. I just want to see how these are holding up. Also post if you had any major issues after a certain round count.

I can honestly say that I have shot close to 1500 rounds with zero issues.

Well I just shot mine for the first time last weekend. We put in 600 rounds since that's all that we can purchase. They limit 6 items of ammo per customer at our local Walmart.

We used CCI mini-mag and not even one misfire

 

[idbstyler]

I've put at least 4000 rounds through mine. The only probably I've had is mag snags. And thats just me loading to fast because I get anxious between mags

 

[BELT_FED]

I'm at well over 16,500 and no real issuse other than the ocational mag snag

 

[Skidder]

5500 Federal and CCI not one issue. Will do 550 more today

 

[eztarget]

close to 5000 after initial repair with 0 problems.

Before return to S&W-36
Since return from S&W-4,000 (Half Federal, half CCI MiniMag)

MiniMags- 99.999%- I actually did have one round fail to detonate even w/ a good pin contact!

Federal Bulk-99.6%- about 2 rounds per box of 550 fail to detonate the first time.

Mag snags? Usually the first round in a fresh magazine. I don't bother anymore to ensure the correct staggered spacing as it will shoot fine stuffed in there. The drawback is that random stuffing will result in a non-staggered magazine which will result in about this much ][ extra space used in the magazine and will make the last round load funny.

If I leave the mags a round short, there is never a problem w/ new magazines regardless of how they're loaded. (This sounds vaguely familiar from training 44 years ago!)

Made it thru a couple mags when extractor went missing due to ftf, fte and oob discharges.
Came back from the Mother Ship and put about 3000 round thru it & its been flawless.
Has an occasional Failure to Fire but I blame that on the Winchesters
Ran Winchesters(333's,HV and Wildcats) , Federal and CCIs in it and they all ran good
Even tried Remingtons (Bulk and Subsonics) as a test and it ran fine

S&W Made it right for me, I was a lil diappointed at first but I would buy it again.

1000 rds plus and had a few stovepipes and jams in the beginning, put 300 rds through yesterday with one jam, otherwise flawless and never been back for service.....

 

[P51-SN95]

about 750 rounds Mostly all Federal Bulk and about 50 or So CCI Stingers.

only had 2 failure to ejects. I'm happy with it.

 

[REDHORSE]

only 900 rounds through it so far, i'm still very new to shooting the 15/22. my trigger finger's twitching with excitement thinking about 10,000 plus rounds! sounds like too much fun
had some issues with the first 200 rounds of CCI, bad batch i think. 700 rounds since, of Fed Bulk with just 1 FTF.
i love it.
happy shooting to everyone!

Getting close to 17k. Used to have 1% mag-snags before I stopped using ALAB. Had zero FTEject until my last two outings (2 each time). Zero FTFire. One OOB. Never adjusted ejector. Never been back to S&W. DTH Series.

 

[GreenTy]

I have 3000 rounds through mine. Not a single problem. Shoots all ammo too. First 1000 rounds were CCI Blazer I had sitting around for the break in period. Only thing I can say is clean it very well right out of the box then go enjoy it.

 

[gohtar]

I am getting close to 1000 rounds, Federal 550, Winchester 333, Aquila (few types), CCI mini mags. Only 1 mag snag and 1 failure to extract.

 

[460v LAC du FLAMBEAU]

My brother-in-law put 6,000 rounds through the 15-22 then his son got a hold of it and it's up 11,000...they both love it!!

 

[janizary]

Just shy of 1.5 550 RGB packs (so around 700'ish RGBs). About 200 Fed Bulk (from the 550 pack), and 100 WinSuper-X HPs (which I bought in 1991!!).

No issues other than a typical 1 RGB per mag FTF. No FTEs, no OOB firing. Pretty happy thus far.

I meant to shoot a bit more, but I found some cheap bulk ammo for my .308 took it out the last time out to the desert along with my Rossi .223/20 guage combo gun. I love that Rossi (and my son's .22LR/.410 combo as well). Not sure why, I just get a kick out of those break-opens.

 

[maxxamillion]

I'm at just over 1,500 with no issues, all suppressed. I've used Federal Bulk, Winchester Super X HP, Winchester Super X Subsonic HP, Remington Subsonic, CCI Minimag, CCI Stinger, CCT Standard. I like.

 

[mikehoncho]

i went over 3K yesterday and it's only getting better. 10 mags yesterday slow and rapid fire with zero issues. shooting almost exclusively fed bulk 550 red box. got a bunch before wally world raised the price 17%.

 

[shawnr5]

Shot a few hundred (with many problems) before doing the ejector fix. Since the ejector fix, about 2000 with just a handful of mag snags. It's going out with a friend this weekend for another 500-1000.

 

[iflyfish]

Around 10,000 give or take. I gave up keeping track at 8000.
