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.

I was considering the 10/22 first. But when I went shopping, the store had a 597, and was out of the 10/22, with no real idea on a new shipment. Price was really not a factor about 20 dollars difference between the two.
