Newbie alert - New Marlin 60 1st time shooting Evaluation

[triplebike]

Took my new Marlin 60 to the range today for the 1st time. Started with inexpensive Remington "Golden Bullet". The first two tubes had a couple of jams, but after that it cycled flawlessly, shooting about 100 rounds.

Next I tried the more expensive Winchester "Super X" & it jammed on every round????? (The person next to me was also shooting a Marlin 60, I handed him a box & it jammed his as well) No Matter how much I tried I could not get these to cycle at all. ( Also made the mistake of buying a box of 500)

The last cartridge I tried was the " CCI Stinger" these worked flawlessly, but I was told by the folks at the range that they are "too hot" for the 60. They recommended the CCI Standard load.

The 60 is really a fun gun to shoot, I like the way it fits me as well. I haven't got it sighted in yet since I used up my hour fiddling with the different ammo.

Any thoughts, comments or recommendations on the above will be greatly appreciated, with me being a newbie to this. Thanks

Tons of Marlin stuff.

Try CCI mini-mags. I run those in all my .22lr semi-auto guns. I've also had some luck with Federal bulk pack but not 100%. Keep the gun clean too.
