	Picked a full box of Remington kleanbore 32 rimfire at the last gun show for a good price. ($50) Added to my other 3 boxes, an almost full dogbone kleanbore, and 2 Navy Arms of which one is full and the other 2/3rds. My problem is the Navy Arms ejects but the Remington dogbone does not. Wondering if it is more the old Remington copper case that won't eject or maybe a slight chamber polish would help. The chamber and bore look to be in good shape so I'm not wanting to mess it up. I may just try a little extra brass brush treatment. Would the old Remington ammo just stick no matter what?

	Pictures. Any idea how old the Remington ammo would be?

	The Dog Bone is Ca. 1926-1928 after that they called out the bullet type.... lubricated...Silvadry. Dog bone went away Ca. 1936. The other Rem. 1936 to 1946ish. This is all based on a compilation of 22 RF boxes.

	Any evidence that someone has dry-fired your rifle? Just a snap or two might have peened the chamber under the firing in just enough so a soft copper case swells and sticks while a stouter brass one doesn't. I had to make a mandrel once to fit a .38 Rimfire chamber and grind a flat spot on it. This was inserted into a damaged chamber on a Remington #2 Rolling Block and turned round and round by hand to iron the damage back into the chamber wall before I could even chamber a round.

	You did say the other brand works fine? Is the copper oxidized? Maybe the copper does not relax like the brass and sticking.

	Thanks for the years. It's a favorite so the firing pin is over the extractor but I'll check. Some of the bullets are oxidized. I've been shooting those first.
