I went to the range this weekend with my wife and a friend. We stopped at the gun store on the way to buy some ammo. We bought winchester white box 9mm, PMC 45 acp, and Remington .22lr. It was very cold, in the low 20's while we were shooting. We had a good time but my typically reliable pistols weren't as reliable, in fact there were 3 misfires out of 20 rounds on the 1911 compact. the 9mm stuff ran fine I figure it was just the grease on the firing pin that caused the problems.
What bothered me was the .22 LR weapons: marlin 795, ruger 22/45, beretta bobcat, remington 581 (i think), and Pre mark 1 ruger ALL misfired and none of them had grease only the very thinnest film of oil. I know the oil can thicken but of 250 rounds there were 13 misfires. I have used these in cold before and never had a misfire, but I always use CCI Stingers or federal bulk pack. Is this normal for remington rimfire? was it the cold? lack of priming compound? other?
