ruger 1022 hi-capacity magazines
I have experienced nothing but trouble in my quest for the ideal magazine for my 1022. The only magazines that seem to work correctly are either the factory 10 rd. magazine, the eagle 30 rd magazine or the butler creek hot lips magazines. Anything with steel lips other than the factory mag has been nothing but trouble for me. Is it true that some 1022's are different than others? Sellers have told me that these magazines work great, but when I try them out they don't. Obviously they want to cover themselves, so they blame the rifle. I know for a fact that it is not the rifle because some magazines work great. Anybody experience these problems? All opinions are welcome. My other questions were in regards to the all steel magazine for the 1022 made by bingham taylor ltd. Has anyone had any experiences with these magazines? Do they feed properly? Are they durable? Will they last? Personal experiences only! I have been looking into picking up some of these and I know they can be expensive, so I want to be sure they will work before I buy them. And last. The 50 rd. mitchell drum. Is this magazine any good? It looks like it has too many gadgets to be reliable to me. What do you think?

Wow evermore, you just about seem like the only other person I've met that have ever heard of the Bingham Taylor Ltd. Magazines. 
You're right, they are very high, but aside from mine, I've only seen 2 others and I've looked for them at every gunshow I go to. I have 10 of them, but never fired a shot through them. All I know about them is that when I bought them (~10 years ago) I was going to use them. I thought they'd be ideal since they are single-file "slim-line" magazines. I thought I could slip a couple in my back pocket and be good to go. Anyway, the magwell insert wouldn't fit into my gun with the aftermarket Butler Creek synthetic stock. The 2 I tried did fit just fine into my gun with the factory stock, but I didn't want to use the factory one. They do appear that a person could disassemble them and replace the spring if it wears out, and could probably give them a fairly good cleaning if this is true.
I have used a lot of different magazines (except drum types). They all seem to feed about the same, but I'd give a slight edge to the metal-lipped mags. The factory 10 round ones are by far the best ones, they just never jam, and when they do, they are ready to be replaced. I could go through probably 5 50 round mags before I get a jam, they were usually minimal and pulling the mag, cycling the action would be enough to clear them. If every type of clip you try you have trouble, it might be your ammo. My 10/22 does NOT like uncoated lead bullets. It will jam a lot even with the factory magazine. It shoot copper type relatively well, but I have the best luck with the coated ones. I usually just shoot the cheap Remington Thunderbolts and the hollowpoint version, the Cyclones.
It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...0 -
The Mitchell mags once you learn how to use them are the best. Butler creek would be my second choice. I have a couple of the steel lipped 25 rounders and have never had a problem with them. 0 -
If you are looking for some bingham mags I just found these. The price seems preety good. It is less then the butler creek or ramline.
