Federal 22 lr

My browning Buckmark eats anything I feed it until I got Fed 22s. Last week I almost gave it a nervous breakdown. They FTL & FTE & FTF. Trust me, I'll buy that stuff again. Am I the only person feeling that way?

Which Federal? Bulk? Blue Box Champion? AutoMatch?

I have a few semi rifles that like the taste of federal hollow point in the 550 rd bulk pack.

I have had less luck with Winchester (white bulk pack) and Remington Golden Bullets.

If it's the bulk pack stuff and you have a bunch and want to get rid of it, let me know.
I may have some other 22 to trade as well, but need to go look at what all I have on hand.

My Buckmark loves that stuff!! The conversion kit for the AR runs great with federal. I just wish I could find some boxes of 550 somewhere.

Did you happen to check the screws that hold the top rail? They are known to work lose on Buckmarks and cause the issue you are having.

THIS!!! Mine does this and everyone of my friends that has one has had it happen too. I use a touch of light-duty Loc-Tite on the screws and check them before every range session. When the rail gets loose the slide runs a bit out of line and the firing pin hits are weak or non-existant.
