Mine always jams. I have tried multiple brands of bullets.
1) Keep your 10/22 clean. .22LR is a very dirty cartridge so you should field strip and clean after every range session, especially the bolt.
2) Use High-Velocity ammunition. I use CCI Mini-Mags almost exclusively in mine.
Jams: Two things come to mind. I’ve worked on dozens, or more, 10/22’s over 4 decades or so. Since they are “blowback” operated they do load themselves up with powder residue so keeping the chamber, the bolt way, and the extractor clean is necessary. They’re good for 500 rounds max before they need a takedown cleaning. The other problem point is the extractor. Being stamped they sometimes have a bit of roughness that the factory should have polished out such that they don’t extract cleanly.
And they will not function reliably with anything less powerful than premium long rifle cartridges. The system is good-—just not as forgiving as, say, a Remington 552/572.
“Mine always jams. I have tried multiple brands of bullets.”
Take it to a gunsmith for a thorough professional cleaning. I’ll bet that clears up the problem.
Mine get a little fidgety with standard velocity ammo. So I run high velocity stuff exclusively.
