Try marking the magazine whenever you get a misfire, load up fully, and try again. If the misfire happens at the same spot all the time, it's probably the mag.

Thanks for the reply, will give them a go, and going to order a few more magazines anyway ..

I have the same problem with my 92fs, but it seems to happen less often with BSA Elites, they're the middling priced ones, about 5 pounds per tin.

same problem with my 1911, index's only does it about 2's every 24 shots though, pretty sure its a regular problem. i tried replacing the indexing paw but no luck,

hi I have a cp88 which seems to like rws superdomes or the geko ,I had the problem of sticking pellets just a spot or two of power pelletlube helps (this stuff to me smells and looks like power steering fluid) ? just add to the tin or place a small amout in a plastic bag. I use just the smallest amount of copper grease just enough to cover a gnats bollocks on the inner spindle hole seems to work for me

I'm wondering about pellets in general, what difference does the shape make, pointed, round,flat etc? Which type is the best to buy in general?

Can you get ones that are not made from lead??

From your other post I see your shooting a Umarex 92F.

Stick with a light flat type pellet, I use Gecos in my CO2 Pellet shooters as they were nice and cheap and group well.

These make nice clear holes in paper. You can get pellets made from other metals but lead engages the rifling nicely and expands into it when fired. I have heard terrible problems with people getting copper pellets to group but have not tried them myself.

If your shooting BB guns then steel BBs generally work in all guns but lead balls vary in size and can deform in magazines.
