Ramline 50rnds for $20

Butler Creek 25rnds for $25

Eagle 30rnds for $10

Thanks for the help!

The 30 round Eagle mags feed better for me than the factory mags, so long as I fill them up to 25 instead of 30. They're a great value for 9 dollars or so. I don't know how long they'll last, since they don't have steel feed lips, but I've already got my money's worth for both of mine.

Someone else mentioned trouble with the Federal Value Pack. The stuff feeds _perfectly_ in my 10/22 - better than anything else - if I keep the rifle reasonably well cleaned and lubed.

Anybody having feeding trouble with high capacity mags, try not filling them up all the way. As I mentioned in my previous post, this worked wonders for my Eagle mags. Before I figured this out, I had 4-6 misfeeds every mag. Now I have none, unless the gun is very dirty/dry.

I just pick up a few of these. Well reviewed, I'll get to try them this weekend, I hope.

I have 4 butler creek 25 rnd steel lips, never had any trouble and I have puts thousands throught it this year,haave used the bmf activator and emptied the 25 rounders in 3 seconds no problems.

MAKE SURE you tap on hte back side of the mag so that the back side of the casing is against hte back, otherwise you will get binding, I didn't do this at first and the bullets would bind up and I could barely get them out.

Ive only ever used the standard 10 round rotary and eagle magazines. I can't complain about either one.

In my shooting life, I have had 2 semi autos, 10/22s (plural) and marlin M60s. marlins are easy, keep em clean and make speed loaders out of aluminum arrow hulls that hold 17 rnds qwith a cap on the end. Rugers , I think I have tried every mag out there, and I still use the 10 round rotary mags more than any of them. They are completely reliable, can be dissassembled and cleaned and tuned, spring tension can be increased or decreased with the turn of the spring, BC steel lip[s are second , TI25's require a lot of tuning to get the depth and angle correct, eagle, Ramline and other plastic mags work better right before you wear them out and they wont hold the shells in any more.

Yep, factory mags have never been beat for reliability.
Here's a way to increase speed of using them that I like. I have two of these TriMags, which gives you access to 60 PDQ rounds. Well worth the ten bucks the maker charges. (buy on eBay).

I've tried a number of after market mags for the 10/22, and have always ended up going back to the 10 round Ruger factory mags - they are (in my experience) the most reliable mags for my 10/22.

I had terrible luck out of Butler Creek Hot lips mags, while stock one's were perfect every time. I would at least try the steel lips, or get the tactical innovations as I've heard good things about thier mags.
