Re: Had a few rounds explode in my Ruger SR22 pistol.

Ruger included a paper stating that they test fired it with 100 rounds of CCI MINI MAG and I believe Aguila super extra before shipping it back to me.

Re: Had a few rounds explode in my Ruger SR22 pistol.

Just wanted to post the conclusion to this. Ruger replaced my barrel, extractor, and slide. I inspected the gun before shipping it to them and it looks like there was an indentation made on the chamber from dry firing. Guessing that's reason the casings fit so tight in the chamber. No more dry fires without snapcaps for me.

Re: Had a few rounds explode in my Ruger SR22 pistol.

I probably misread, but I thought there were guys having trouble with standard velocity rounds not cycling the pistol. That's why I went with mini mags. Plus mini mags are always in stock here, SV is not as popular.

Had a few rounds explode in my Ruger SR22 pistol.

At first we had a few casings fail to eject. I believe the first was a cci minimag, the next few were winchester vermin super x (something like that). I took the gun apart and tapped out the brass with a brass rod. Cleaned the gun and lubed with Rem oil. Then this one time I put in a fresh mag and the first shot goes off fine, the second appeared to have gone off in the gun. Blew smoke from ejection port and hit me in the face with something(I was wearing glasses). Turns out it blew the back of the casing out. I disassemble and clean and try again. Samething except this time it blew apart the bullet nose on the following round too. I believe the last 2 rounds may have been cci velocitors. I gave it a thorough clean this time and used Ballistol. Made sure I loaded only minimags. Everything works like normal. Not sure what it was, but I for sure got blasted in the face twice. Any idea what I may have done to cause this? Gun is stock and cleaned after every use. Has maybe 2000 rounds through it. After about 80-100 rounds we usually start having FTE's but today it started around 50 or 60.
