After a little searching I couldn't find anything on the topic but if I missed it, point me in the right direction.

I am trying to get my 10/22 to run as close to 100% as possible with CCI Quiet. Im not having any feed issues, only cycling issues, obviously related to the low power of the ammo. Just looking at it, it seems like some of the most straightforward solutions would lie in radiusing the bottom of the rear of the bolt to smoooth the engagement with the hammer. I think I am also going to need to lighten the bolt and/or go to a lighter recoil spring.

I am sure this is a common desire, so I figured there would be some knowledge in here somewhere about this so I am looking for some feedback from people who have done it.
