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.
I concur. Dirty 10/22 don’t go bang reliably. Clean one is hours of fun. Mostly easy to clean but most would recoil in my methods but it’s a $200 gun (at least it used to be).

I like the CCI Stinger. That is a wicked little pill.
