I have noticed that many of the people that i shoot bullseye with have problems getting their model 41 S&W and other .22 target guns to function with low velocity ammo. High velocity .22 long rifle rimfire is said to batter the guns with long use so they put a drop of lubricant on the top round of each loaded magazine.
I would think that oiling standard velocity cartridges would also batter the guns as much as does high velocity does. There is one fellow with he says 30,000 plus rounds fired this way through his gun. The surfaces of contact between where the slide contacts the barrel does look battered, but after 30,000 rounds I guess that is to be expected.
Any thoughts or information on this.
At the moment I am using a buffer in mine with a nominally high velocity loading: Federal automatch that in a rifle is supposed to get 1200 fps with unplated bullets and so is around 10% or so faster than standard velocity. normally copper plated HV is said to get 1300 fps. Functioning is normally perfect for me with this loading. I normally get some cartridges of lower charge with lower felt recoil and the gun will not cycle. Likely one or two in several hundred rounds. Definitely not match ammo even if it says automatch on it. When recoil is normal function is 100%. Accuracy is sufficient for my skill level at the moment and I have a lot of this ammo on hand purchased during the last ammo crisis.
Guns with lighter slides for me seem to do well with standard velocity aguila .22 lr.
