Since They Can't Get Your Firearms Yet, They Have Gone After Your Ammunition

This is going to make the upcoming SCOTUS case interesting, because if they find in favor of the 2nd Amendment, this California law will be DOA.

U would bet that the ammo is not generating enough power to eject the spent cartridge and load the next. It happened to me during the first couple hundred rounds. After that it will fire just about anything I put through it.

That’s a pretty good dealio ($5.75/box) but still not like the $4.00 from a few years ago. I guess there will be a dove population explosion in Texas this year unless there is an ammunition stimulus plan.

It's loading, and the firing pin is making contact, because every round that didn't fire had the firing pin mark on it. From a cursory examination, it appeared that pin placement on the misfires was the same as for the spent rounds, but who knows, it could be just that much off to not fire.

I'm going to give Remington a call, though. Not that it bothers me for the money(really, it was about 30 bucks for 500 rounds), but that Remington quality is lacking somewhere.

“Is it common to get misfires?”

I am not an expert like many here, but a typical 4H kids 22 practice session, at which between 500 and 1000 rounds of 22 LR will be fired [50 per shooter], there will be zero misfires.

[IYAS9YAS]

there will be zero misfires.

What brand?

[Stat-boy]

“What brand?”

Various. Nothing expensive. It depends on what the club can find for a good price. Lately, Winchester Wildcat.

Thanks!

“Ammo manufacturers...take note”

Time to start writing them.

In addition to crippling taxes, crime, and draconian gun laws, this is one more reason for Californians to move to gun friendlier Nevada or Arizona.

Bingo...

[EdReform]

You’re an asshole, Arnold.

No, no more Californians please. They truly believe that they don't like it there and "escape" here or to Nevada, then proceed to vote like they did before.

If you think ammo is expensive now.........

[Joe Brower]

Nothing we didn't know already.

I'm new to using rimfire ammo - just bought a .22LR (Remington 597).

Is it common to get misfires?

Very simple to find the problem.

Step 1. Trade in the Remington 597 for a Ruger 10/22.

Step 2. If you still have misfires, it is the ammo.

This was done on the National level in the late 1960s. Once they accumulated many tons of useless log sheets they abandon the process.

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.

If it comes down to it you can use a 4-wheeler to bypass the checkpoint charlies.

Stop a few miles short of the “produce/ammo inspection station”, load everything in your ATV/UTV and go cross country. Pick you up on the other oside.

[Travis McGee]

"It will now become illegal to buy ammunition online or by mail order."

There's the biggie. This is gun registration pure and simple, if you ever plan to buy another bullet in Kali.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Same crap was already in affect in Los Angeles at least 10 years now, of course, nobody sells ammunition in LA any more...

[Osage Orange]

No can opener, but a screwdriver and hammer, judiciously applied, worked fine.

Ha!!

I recently bought 1100 rds of 7.62 x 25mm and had to chisel the can open...too!!
