Linder, everybody,
Is the "Federal bulk" .22 ammo you're shooting "high velocity," or not? I'm starting to collect different types of ammo in anticipation of getting a kit, and my impression was that these kits generally funtion best (most reliably) with "high velocity" ammo.
Or is the "high velocity" label just marketing hype?

The federal bulk I have on hand is the maroon/black box of 550 from Walmart. Side of the box reads:
high velocity
36 grain
copper plated
hollow point
Took my CMMG 22LR/Noveske N4 combo to the range yesterday. I put 8 mags of 20 each thru it for 160 rounds total and had numerous failures to feed and fire, both due the bolt not closing all the way. I simply dropped the mag and cycled the bolt (shell stayed in chamber) and it then always locked up and fired. I also wondered if I had mag problems, but it occurred with all 4 BDM mags I had so I doubt it.
I also had a few light strikes but I was able to get all failures to fire to work in my Buck Mark Practical URX (love it) except 2, which I put down to dud ammo. I only had Remington Golden HPs to work with as my Buck Mark and Marlin 60 function well with it and I was hoping the CMMG would also. I am also going to try some other HV as well, probably Federal and CCI.
I am going to clean the the CMMG well today (should have before I took it out, but I didn't - I know, I know) and maybe strip it down to see if I have the same FP problem that lindertw had. The good news is that whenever it went bang I had no extraction problems.
I will say I was pleased with the accuracy out of a 1:7 barrel. I have my Aimpoint Micro zeroed at 50 yards, and at 25 yards it shoots about 1" low with PVRI 55g 5.56. With the 22LR is was shooting about 3" low at 25 yards so about 2" lower than the PRVI, an easy mental adjustment to make without having to change the zero on my Mirco.
Found a new use for a plastic beer can handle. It works great at retaining the bolt under pressure when you remove the chamber assembly:
