No.8 failure to fire

[mrclark303]

It could be the problem we found on the cadet range once, which was an entire batch of Eley Standard delivered without any primer in the rim...!

Yep, first thing to try, different ammo, it might be as simple as that ... we all know what .22lr can be like sometimes. The worst I ever used was Remington Thunderbolt, I swear it was loaded with black powder, just terrible stuff!

Remington Thunderbolt, I swear it was loaded with black powder,

I agree, inconsistent ignition, wax coated projectiles that gum up the action, and the residue is excessive.
