Ruger 10/22 Mag question
Alright, so for the past few years I've shot very little .22lr, but with prices coming down from atmo, or me just getting used to paying more for ammo, and doing some basic firearms instruction with a few new shooters, the 10/22 has gotten pulled forward in my gunsafe. Now, historically I have used ether the factory 10 round mags, which never gave me an issue, and the 25 round Buttler Creek steel lips mags, which gave precious few issues. Now, Ruger has their own 25rd mags that run about $20 a piece but I never bought any since .22lr was close to what 9mm was until the past year, and I just got an email from CDNN that they have Butler Creek clear steel lips mags for sub $8 a piece. Now my first thought was to go grab a dozen of the butler creek mags, because holy shit that is cheap, but then I have the question of the Ruger mags.
Basically I am hoping to get a little more info on how much better the Ruger factory BX25 mags are over the Butler creek steel lip mags. The hot lips ones I have had, they are pretty much junk, but again I've had few issues with the steel lips, but if something is better I am not adverse to stocking up on them.
So, thoughts gentlemen, and I do use the term loosely?
