Anybody got a suggestion for a reliable hi-cap mag for a Ruger 10/22??
I bought a Shooter's Ridge 25-round clear plastic see-thru magazine which did an absolutely wonderful job of jamming up the .22 cartridges so that they wouldn't feed properly. At all.
So........I'd like to try again with a different brand. But am hesitant to do so, because it just might be deja vu all over again. Then I'd probably end up with as many 10/22 magazines as I have handgun holsters. And no more drawer space.
Your comments, thoughts, suggestions, and/or experiences are invited.

I gave up on aftermarket mags for the 10/22. The factory ones just work.
I have heard the Butler Creek Steel Lip magazines work ok.
-
My Butler Creek Mag works ok but Ram-Line with CCI HV ammo works great in my 10/22
-
My Butler Creek hot lips (plastic) ones work flawlessly now after I broke them in. (about 300 rounds each)
My Black Dog drum can't go 4 rounds without a jam.

Well, based on what I'm seeing here on this forum, it may be worth trying a Butler Creek and/or a Ramline. The Shooters Ridge mags sure are a bust.
(And I'm long a CCI Stinger fan, from the day they hit the market. Wicked Little Suckers, they are. Their acid test is a big fat fox squirrel up in the top of a cottonwood tree. Turns 'em over into a U-shape with their tails trailing as they float down. And they don't scamper off when they hit the ground.)
So---When I try the Butler Creek and the Ramline, feedback on the results will be posted.
Thanks for the information.

Did you try it with regular round nose ammo? I remember trying some higher velocity rounds in an extended magazine with a different shaped bullet and it would hang up and not feed at all. Never messed with the magazine after that.

Clint........
Yup.......Used regular round nose ammo in the Shooters Ridge magazines. Good Ol' Remington .22 Hi-velocity standard plinking stuff. [Wasn't gonna let my grandkids shoot those expensive Stingers at targets and into creek beds.]
And.......Never even tried the Stingers in the Shooters Ridge. Instead, used the Ruger 10/22 10-round factory mags for Stingers. Figgered if the Remington stuff wouldn't work in the Shooters Ridge, the Stingers wouldn't work, even moreso. It's a real aggravation to dig out the unfired rounds when they won't cycle in the hi-cap mag.
Everything works in the Ruger factory mags. "Bout as reliable as a Glock.
Now I gotta go to Cabelas for the Butler Creek or Ramline. Hope I can stick to only buying the magazines and not a shopping cart full of other goodies.

Yeah, seems like it's tough to try and beat the factory equipment. Always seems kind of expensive, however. Excellent little guns though, huh?
-
There's a reason those Shooter's Ridge mags were $8.99 each at the guns shows for the last few years.
Well, at least they have a Lifetime Warranty... if they don't work you can keep sending them back and they will send you a new one.
Hey, someone needs to keep the USPS in business, don't they? ;D
-
after a 1000 rnds, the butler creek steel lipped 25 rnd mags still worked great for me. Hope you didn't spend too much money at the candy store, err, cabelas.
