Well that was a very humbling experience .
I clearly don't shoot often enough any more and haven't for several years.

Put 10 rounds in the direction of a paper plate yesterday @ just 25 yards. Based on the price over the phone I got from the one store that has 32-20 ammo that was a 10$ lesson learned the hard way

The rifle functions good , last round out of the mag sometimes wants to go thru the top of the reciever instead of into the chamber , but I knew that so no big deal , and it did not happen on the second mag full.
Did finally see that the front sight is bent . Not sure how to fix that , but for now restraining the urge to just grab it with channel locks and bend it back seems to be a good choice

Maybe some vertical stringing as the barrel heats up . Or more likely , mostly that the person doing the shooting sux and needs to get out with the 22 alot more often.

Just one of those things I guess. The old box of ammo I used for the 10 shots at a paper plate I thought was factory , having 2nd thoughts on that now. One out of the 10 hit the plate perfectly sideways. 90 degree spin in 25 yards.

Found 2 rounds that didn't have enough crimp to keep the bullet from getting pushed down into the case. They were just in the box , top of the lead even with the top of the brass.

As I mentioned , I bought a new box of ammo yesterday , hit the range this morning , it was too busy for the 1/2 hour I had time for so I just went on my way . Hate having this hanging over my head , but , I'll wait until next week. Even then , this particular rifle may not like the 50$ box of ammo I bought . But at least I expect it not to helicopter any of the new ammo
