Just picked up a new Savage B22 FV for my wife and took it out yesterday to try it out. When I got it, I lubed it up and ran a snake through the barrel a few times to clean out any crud left over from the factory. I also have a Savage Mk II BTV that I've been shooting lately and I've been using CCI SV in it with few issues. Well, for some reason, the B22 will not eject the CCI casings. I had to remove the mag and pry the case from the chamber after every round.
I had a few other brands and tried some of them, with better results. Aguilla SE std vel, Federal Gold Medal, and Wolf Match Extra all extracted with no issues at all. Went back to the CCI and after the first 2 or 3 rounds, they once again wouldn't eject. Is this a problem with the gun itself or something else? Like I mentioned, the CCI works much better in my Mk II. Not perfect, but only a couple FTEs every 50rds or so.
I did notice that except for the Aguila, the other brands had an oily residue on the rounds. Maybe that's why they extracted better? Just looking for ideas on what may be the cause.
Thanks,
Joe
