I'm a new member and have a question some of you may be able to help with. I'm wondering whether the number of misfires (failure to fire) of a .22 magnum is similar to that of a .22 LR. I recently bought a .22 pistol to target shoot and was surprised to get two misfires in the first 30 shots using Federal ammo.
A friend told me this happens some with .22s. I'm pretty new to handguns, so I haven't had much experience myself yet. Have any of you found that other brands of ammo are more reliable?
I have thought about buying a Ruger .22/.22 Mag., but I don't really want to buy another .22 if misfires happen pretty often.
Thanks in advance for any information or experience you might have.
