Took rifle out today and had numerous jamming issues. Bullet would go partially in to barrel ans stick. When clear bullet would be bent in shallow v shape. Was using cci minimags and happened with multiple magazines. Would happen 1-2 times per mag. Any sugges.tions as issue. I've put about 3-4k through with only minor normal issues. Could this be issue with rifle or bad batch of ammo? Thanks in advance for help.

How often do you clean the rifle? Could be lead buildup. During your range sessions you might want to run a bore snake through the barrel as well to loosen up any fouling that may be building up, preventing it from seating the casing properly. Make sure when you load the magazine that the rounds are seated properly also.
 
Rifle was cleaned before the trip. Magazines were staggered properly too. And happened at start of the day. Could tell it was running little wetter than I normally run it.
 
I personally found the ammo I used that gave me issues with that. Winchester 555 and the Federal bulk gave my 15-22 jams probably one ever 15 shots on average.

The CCI Minimags was a bit better with 1 ever 35 shots so.

Awkwardly enough, opposed to the manual not recommending Remington Golden Bullets, I have tried around 1600 rounds of it and have yet to get a single jam, stove pipe, or FTF.

Not sure if you tried other ammo yet, but find the ammo the gun likes as each one is different.
