I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

OK. I just got through firing about 300 rounds through both the stock rotary magazine as well as the two new BX-25 mags a purchased. Did not have a single misfire or jam through the rotary magazine no matter what brand of ammo I used. However, the only rounds I could get to fire through the BX-25 mag without constant jamming were the CCI Mini-mags. I tried Federal and Winchester rounds and the BX-25 mag constantly jammed to the point of complete aggravation. I guess it is going to be more expensive to use these mags if all I can shoot through them is CCI mini-mags. Really disappointed in the product!
I love this magazine. My 10/22 is a 15th birthday present from the mid-90s. I have gradually dropped in many after market parts. All of my problems from this gun have been a result of incompatible parts. My first instinct is to blame the magazine or the ammo, especially on a .22LR. I found that the stock extractor didn't mesh well with the match barrel. I still had problems after that upgrade, which turned out to be a bad Butler Creek 25-rounder. It simply buckled under the strain of being loaded. The plastic cracked apart. Then my ancient 10-round magazines were jamming up in the magazine too, which is understandable since they'd never been cleaned or maintained. Now I run these official Ruger 25 round mags and have never had a problem. They are even easy to fully load by hand. I'd rather spend the money on another magazine than a speed loader. I have been running bulk ammo through it like a champ.
