I once had some issues with HP rounds on my Buckmark when it had the TS 7.25" alloy barrel on it. I took a small stone on my Dremel tool and massaged the barrel liner at the feed ramp to round it off and keep the HP ammo from sometimes sticking on the chamber end and giving a FTF.

My .22 racegun is about the lightest setup you can build. Browning Buckmark (aluminum alloy frame), Tac Sol 5.5 alloy barrel w/TS alloy comp, T...
