This week, I have been shooting with a friend. He has a Savage Model 64 (.22 semiauto). I like the gun a lot, and it's very accurate, but he had a problem with some ammunition.
He bought CCI polymer-coated rounds. These things come in various festive colors, and they're supposed to reduce the need for cleaning. I suggested Mini-mags, because Savage told him to use CCI, and plastic seemed a little weird, but he went for the polymer rounds.
Here's the problem he has: the last round in the magazine tends to get stuck in the chamber. Also, there are issues with the tips of these bullets getting chewed up. He replaced his first magazine, which turned out to have problems. The second magazine works, but he has this issue with the plastic-coated bullets.
I am wondering if this problem is common with these bullets OR the gun.
