Good luck. I have two High Standard pistols which I have been shooting 40+ years without any feeding or other issues. About 5 years ago I wanted a couple extra magazines so I bought a couple factory mags at a gun show. The next time I went to the gun show I stopped by the booth where I bought them to admire some of the High Standards that he had in his display case. I mentioned to the guy about my problems with feeding with the new magazines. The president of High Standard happened to be at the booth and told me about this procedure. It worked fine for me.
I also have a Ruger which is over 30 years old and have never had feeding issues. I believe the comments about the smaller .22 pistols. A couple years ago a friend bought a Sig Mosquito. He had failures to feed and eject all of the time. He could hardly even shoot a whole magazine without some kind of issue. I don't know if he ever solved it. Sometimes I think that the new smaller .22 pistols are just too light. My High Standard and Ruger are hefty chunks of metal.
Check this out. It was written for High Standard magazines, but it might help. YMMV.
