| Can you use larger capacity banana clips in a gun made for the rotary clips? |

| Yes. I've had best luck with the Ruger factory 25 rounders. Other brands don't seem to function as reliably. |

| I have used Champion clear magazines without any problems, but they recommend the use a CCI, Federal or American Eagle ammo. |

The only mags that work in the 10-22 are rotary-style.
That said, steel lip mags are the most reliable/durable. |

Rotary magazines are not the only ones that work in the 10-22.
As long as the feed & latching mechanisms are the same, any magazine will work.
Factory 25 rounders work best. |

| I agree you will be happier with the Ruger 25, others in the distant past were hit or miss IMHO. |

I've never had a problem using Butler Creek 25 round magazines, the steel lips is best as the red lips tend to wear out quickly.
Also no issues with a 110 round GSG drum magazine https://www.{elsewhere}/product/gsg-ruger-10-22-drum-magazine-22-long-rifle-110-rounds-polymer-black-germr110ten22-813393012846.do
or the AMT Sanford 50 round drum magazine that are no longer made and seldom found for sale.
I've tried two of these ProMag 50 round drums http://www.basspro.com/shop/en/promag-10-22-22-lr-drum-magazine and returned them both as they are junk IMO.

The old Ram-line 30 and 50 round mags do not have metal lips and they are total junk as well. There is a company that made/makes ones that have angle adjustment to them. They were available in different materials including metal. I bought several of the polymer ones and they worked great as well but now I just get the BX-25 ones.
The 10 round mags can be taken apart and cleaned with some care if needed. |

Prefer the 10 rounders myself... and I have more than a few.
That said, happy with the 2 Butler Creek steel lips mags I had for a while, until they were the only thing that work work with a buddy's bump-stocked 10/22 (worls class right there!). They are his now, and I have even more 10 rounders :) |

10-22's will use any magazine that is advertised to work in them.
I have 12 10 rounders and a bunch of Butler Creek 25 rounders. I seldom use the 10 shot mags and hunt with just the 25 shot plastic lip BC mags. |
