"I'm new to using rimfire ammo - just bought a .22LR (Remington 597). Is it common to get misfires? I have a box of 500 Remington Cyclone rounds and fired about 60 or so over the weekend with about a 10% misfire rate."

I've read quite a bit about quality control problems with Remington rimfire ammo in the past year or so. To answer your question, no, a quality firearm with good ammo should have nothing like a 10% misfire rate. Have you tried different ammo? I've generally had excellent results with CCI rimfire ammo...

I bought some, but didn't take it to the field. I'll try the other ammo - believe it is CCI, but can't remember for certain. Thanks!
