Good mags, great price in todays market, actually about what I paid for mine a few years ago. I too prefer the steel lips, but none of my original lips (nylon?) have broken -- unlike Eagle & Ram-Line.
 
You can still get on the backorder for Ruger BX-25's at shopruger.com too. IIRC, they are around $30 each right now.

I love my HC3R magazine - I think the quality and design of it is far superior to the BX-25. They also have a cool speed loader that works with it - up to 100 rounds (if you can find that much ammo)!
 
I bought a 30 round double stack steel lip champion, junk. Doesn't work. All butler creek mags I've tried are junk. I have a 10 round and 20 round champion that feed great. Promag 32 rounder that also fires great.

Boy are you in the minority!

If your 10/22 doesn't work with the Butler Creek or Champion mags, odds are you need to install a Volquartsen "Exact Edge" extractor to solve the issue, I had to do this to two our our three 10/22s and all of the MkII & 22/45 pistols to get reliability with bulk pack ammo (except the Remington "Golden Bullet" bulk pack which I gave up on long ago, it wouldn't even feed from the Ruger 10 round rotary mag).

You may be thinking "what's the extractor got to do with feeding?" and in most guns you'd be correct but in the Rugers when the empty is off the extractor and bouncing around it usually gets out the port but not before its interfered with the next round feeding, thus hiding the root of the problem -- getting any "stovepipe" jams are a red flag that this is the issue. I was about to give up on mine when someone told me this and I figured what the hey, for ~$10 its worth a try and presto!
 
Ruger has had BX25's available for months. I ordered a couple during the panic and they went on backorder, but the order was filled within three weeks.

Hmm, I've never heard of the "exact edge". But I do experience stovepipe related james alot with my 10/22. Thanks for sharing.

Midway has the kit on sale right now too: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/36...ger-10-22-10-22-magnum-mark-ii-mark-iii-22-45

I only wish I would have known about this 24 hours sooner, so I could have added it to my yesterday's midway order.
 
This is an old thread from February. If anyone wants to start a new one with new, up to date info feel free to do so.
