Might trying being more aggresive and if that doesnt work may take it to a gunshop. they can test things like how hard it hits. on the primers to the misfires is there a mark on them where it hit just not hard enough and also are they factory loads or reloads.

I meant to bring that up as well good point. There are a LOT of different man.in the 22lr shell making business now days.And a lot of them have different dimensions,especially rim dimensions and they all are different. Thats why some people often have rim gauges to tell if the shell will even fit in there gun. vangunsmith

Maybe because Remington is made in China!
