Some have said use standard velocity in my nice old m101 Duramatic. This is because there is a rumor that .22 Hi VELOCITY might crack the frame.
Yesterday I ran 30 rounds of CCI standard lead round nose .22LR through thr gun no problem. Today, it wouldn't have any of it...same ammo and every thing. Tried Remington "sub-sonic" but it was worse.
Went back to several mags of CCI mini mag it worked perfect (with the factory mag) , as it had before when I first got the gun.
WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS DO? Use the CCI mini Mag? How likely is it to damage the frame in reality? The gun is from the mid-60's and in very nice shape, so I don't see myself shooting it alot. On the other hand, I don't like owning guns that can't be shot regularly and with a good degree of reliability.
I looked for standard velocity copper top, as I thought that might help (Help feed, anyway) , but couldn't find any out there.
Thanks for your input.
