One last post.

Wife, grandson and I went to the range today.

About 500 rds later we were all smiling.  My wife's first time firing a gun of any sort and my grandson and my first time with a pistol.

Maybe 7 or 8 failure to eject using Win Xperts and Federal 510s.

A good time was had by all!

My Buckmarks really love CCI ammo, but don't have problems with anything else, except lead bullets (and then it is the lone hang-up out of 500 rounds, when they are really fouled).
They do like the copper coated ones better (like Remington Yellow Jackets, I think).

Same here, my worst problems with my Buckmark came from a replacement mag I bought, but I had a bad experience with ELEY MATCH pistol ammo, first box was fine but i could feel that the lead bullets were HEAVILY lubed, second box was one jam after another due to accumulated crud, and they were no more accurate than the Fioccchi that the range sells for half that price.

Same here. Don't buy non-Browning mags. I bought some cheap copies from Sportsmans Guide and they would not feed in a newer Buckmark, but would in an older one. I got to looking and noticed the front edge was beveled deeper on one than the other.

Also, here is a link for Ruger and Browning accessories:

HA, that's where I got mine as well, the follower has slop in it that allows it to tip backward and feed the round at to steep an angle. Since I don't use it for competition or defense, I just make sure I push the follower forward when I load it.

As a side note, Sportsmans Guide does sell actual Browning mags, they just cost more than the generic. I bought some Browning mags from them and they work fine.

I have had similar experiences too. I've had no problems with Browning Buckmark factory mags. Also, I too have noticed that if the Buckmark jams (very rarely) it's always with lead bullets. Copper ones seems to work flawlessly.
