I've had problems with feeding HP's in particular with mine, a few will feed but several won't.

 

Try swapping the rotor and spring out of the Bergara magazine with one from a Ruger magazine or wind the Bergara rotor and spring one or two extra flats. Generally when a rotary magazine doesn't fully feed the last round like that it's usually not enough spring tension.

I see the OP mentioned one misfeed with Tac-22 RN, but I tend to have more issues with truncated cone bullets than with RN in my firearms.

 

I watched a yt video the other day and the guy was having feeding issues with his Bergara magazine but Ruger's worked fine. He contacted Bergara and they sent him new mags that worked flawlessly and requested him to ship the defective mags back to them on their dime. I would think they would handle this for you in a very timely manner.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try tightening the spring. still no reply from Bergara about my initial inquiry.

 

I recently purchased a BXR carbon and overall it is a solid rifle.

However, the stock magazine causes frequent misfeeds and dents 1-2 rounds per 10 round load, often the last round. I was mainly using 38gr CPHP, but it did jam with at least one Norma Tac 22 40gr SV LRN that I tested as well.

The gun does not misfeed with Ruger 10 and 25 round magazines that I have tried. I have written to Bergara, but have not received any response. The simple solution is to only use Ruger magazines, but I am disappointed in the poor performance of the stock magazine.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem with my bxr. Sent it back to Bergara and they said nothing wrong with it. I’m glad I’m not the only one with this problem.

 

I would also tighten the spring up one if not two flats like already mentioned. Those Bergara magazines are really soft to load. I had to do this with mine also.

 

I also had feeding issues with my BXR. Sent it back and they fixed it. Runs flawlessly now regardless of ammo

 

After multiple mag replacements and sending the gun in, I still have the exact same problem. I think I need to make a video showing others how frustrating it can be. I wish I would have known this.

 

I'm in the same boat; which is sinking fast. The endless misfeeds with this thing are totally aggravating... I find Eley tenex seem to be the worst and jam every single time. Their flat nose (or "truncated cone"?) catch on edge of breech like clock work. Simply refuses to feed from the mag. Eley Subsonic are a bit better but I don't think I've got through a 10 shot cycle yet from stock mag or my Ruger 10/22 rotary mags with that stuff. CCi standard is a but better but plenty of jams there too. I've got a bunch of Aguilla to try and maybe that'll be better. But I now regret buying BXR in the first place. I'm in Kanada so sending to Bergara for tweaking would be too costly. I haven't given up yet but I've been eyeing the Ruger Competition Shop offering too...Would be great to hear from anyone who's compared the two side by side...

 

My BXR mags feed ok, but I can't get the mags out of the mag well, jammed solid and I have to disassemble the rifle to remove them. Ruger 10 and 15 round mags run flawless and remove fine. I've never tried hollow points in it, just round nose Tac-22 and Blazer and Mini Mags. It is a very finicky rifle with standard velocity stuff, sometimes sv won't cycle the bolt in the way the rifle likes it.
