I'm posting the following for comments because I've read on different forums that polishing the feed ramp helps ... now I'm confused.
Friday went to my local gun range. Fired 100 rds of 36 grain HP thru my SR 22. Had 2 FTF at random intervals. On my way out, I stopped at the gunsmith's shop and asked him: I'd like to polish the SR 22 feed ramp but did not have a dremel, what would you suggest I use? He told me polishing the feed ramp was a widely held misconception. That the feed ramp had nothing to do with an FTF, other things on the gun caused the FTF; lack of proper lubrication of the gun, springs, etc.
He also said that the feed ramp is not a true ramp, the bullet does not travel up the ramp. The bullet hits at an exact angle on the ramp and bounces into the chamber. If you were to polish the ramp (too much - my interpretation), you could change the angle and the bullets would never seat correctly causing a bigger problem, He also said never lubricate the ramp make sure it was dry after cleaning.
