    I've been quite fortunate with mine. 2289 documented rounds, most of that bulk with a sub 1% failure rate that has been all ammo related.

    At least you got to the bottom of your issue. That's the real win here.

    Science experiment: can i dip the entire tray of minimags bullet first into a pot of hot water to melt the wax off? Just
    deep enough so the bullet tips get submerged.


    Its the globs of wax on the nose of the bullets that cause all of these magazine malfunctions in my ruger mkiii

    Yes, if you don't mind all the misfires from wet powder.

    Clarks has some video about .22s fed from a magazine that might help in this situation. They just dump the bullets in a gun rag cloth I guess the kind that is impregnated with silicone and rub the bullets. Some times they put oil on the cloth too. Dunno if that helps or not.

    I had a 541 T HB that would only shoot ammo with soft slick lubed ammo like SK or old Wolf. Wish I knew what they use.

    IIRC, SK Jagd and Wolf Match are the same ammunition in different boxes.

    Roger that, I have a little of both from before Biden/Covid. First group with CCI STD after shooting the SK is real good, the lube left in the bbl from the SK. After that the CCI will have fliers. Whatever the slick lube is makes a big difference.
