Thread: Hornady 30gr 22WMR V-Max misfires..

My Marlin 917 in HMR was getting 10 misfires per box , sometimes just putting the round back in the mag but rotating it so the firing pin hit a different area worked .
I read a bit of stuff on Rimfire forums and the Marlins are known for it. I could never figure it out as the firing pin was leaving really good strike marks.
Sold it and in 300 odd rounds through the CZ I haven't had a misfire yet.
Marlin did bring a kit out that fixed it but of course my Marlin model had been superseded and the NZ importers didn't know any thing about it and had never heard of the problem...of course.
