That is odd. I buy auto match 6 boxes at a time lolGoldies are flawless in my 10/22, way better than Federal match. Go figure.
Use it exclusivelt for rimfire plate shoots. Never gets me down

Truth is we don't!Why do we need to clean guns after every range trip, rust preventive wipe and a oil patch down the tube until next time.
I don’t wash my car or change my oil after each use?
I came to post thisRem 870. Pretty hard to make the thing NOT work when called upon.
When I first started shooting, I would clean any and every gun I shot even a box of ammo thru. After a while, I would only clean something if I shot say 250 rounds, then it was 500 rounds, then it was 1000 rounds, you get the picture. These days, I might clean something if it looks really, really dirty and I have no idea when I might have cleaned it last.
...My usual response to that is that if you feel the need to clean a gun every time you shoot it then you don't shoot that much.
I’m surprised to hear that you all consider the Ruger 10/22 reliable. We have two of them and neither runs well after a few hundred rounds if they are not cleaned.
Oh good, another addition to my ignore list

I've never put anyone on ignore , but I'm not that touchy.Oh good, another addition to my ignore list
Ruger Mini 14 runs for ever don't clean it and the dirtier it gets the better it runs.
Glock
SKS, with the wolf ammo. I have put that thing away dirty more times than clean and it always goes bang.
My sks has double fired 3 times on the range. Never went full auto on me but it did slam fire those 3 times and fired two rounds.me too, but I'm a bit worried that it might slam fire on me when I'm not ready for full auto.
Truth is we don't!
Give this thread a few hours and as usual for this topic someone will be on saying how not cleaning a fire arm after each use means we don't care for the tools we trust our lives with and how we are irresponsible gun owners. My usual response to that is that if you feel the need to clean a gun every timt you shoot it then you don't shoot that much. If cleaning was necessary every range trip I'd never go to the range. I shoot about 3 times a week.......I don't have time for all that cleaning nonsense.
That's great advice.Speaking of reliability. Here's another reason I don't clean my carry guns very often.
After I've taken it apart ,cleaned it and reassembled it, I want to shoot it to confirm that everything is good.
I can't do that with my carry gun if I clean it at home.
So about every 6 months I bring my cleaning stuff to the range, shoot the guns, clean them and then shoot them.
Now I KNOW.
Not that there are a lot of ways to put a Glock or a Kahr back together wrong, but it happens. When I took the Glock armorers class we learned a series of steps to confirm function after reassembly, but still I'd like to actually shoot it.
