First 60 rounds and not one round chambers automatically.
Using Horneday 25 grain 2200 fps from the muzzle.
Issues:
1. Expended shell stays in muzzle.
2. Expended shell gets stuck not ejected propely.
3. Expended shell ejects, but new shell does not chamber or partially chambers.
Unable to fire ANY consecutive shot without maniplulation of slide....

    Try different ammo.
    I have one and it has not given any problems. I'm at work and can't remember what type I'm using now.[:I]

    Normal bullet weight for 22 magnum is between 40 & 50 grains. Semiautomatic guns that function with a unlocked breech mechanism, such as yours. Are designed to work with a specific weight bullet. Follow the previous posters advice. Use ammo with heavier bullets.

    Read the supplied information on what ammo is recommended. I have over 1000 rounds through my PMR. The ones on the list have been flawless. The five rounds of Hornady 30 grainer I tried for the heck of it did not feed or eject.
