Gun and gear reviews TM22 Out-of-Battery Discharge / Case Rupture with Aguila Super Extra – Ammo or Gun issue?

Hey everyone, looking for some insight on my new TM22. I gave it a full teardown and cleaning right out of the box. Took it to the range yesterday for the first time and ran a variety of ammo through it: * CCI Blazer * Federal * CCI Stinger * Aguila Super Extra

The CCI and Federal ran fine, but I had a scary moment with the Aguila Super Extra. It "went off" while the bolt wasn't fully seated (OOB discharge). The casing was blown out/ruptured. Since I cleaned the gun beforehand and the other brands ran okay, I’m trying to figure out if this is a known issue with Aguila in the TM22 or if I should be looking at the firing pin/extractor. Has anyone else had issues with Aguila timing in this platform?

Last 2 boxes of Aguila ive bought at separate times (8 months and 4 months ago), they seem to be "sticky".

Unsure wax? dried grease? Or some sort of anti-corrosion film, or perhaps some releasing agent on machinery during manufacturing.

I took a few rounds and rubbed them down with paper towel and wd40. ..... it did remove the film, but im not gonna do that for every box of 500😂

Its decent ammo for cost/performance/reliability imo, so i would still buy for a manual action rifle

Dirty ammo trick. Get an old towel, toss a bunch of ammo in it, blast it with spray oil, quickly grab the ends of the towel, and polish them like you see bowlers cleaning their bowling balls. Hundreds of rounds of .308 done in 30 seconds. You're welcome.
