IME, good 22RF ammo shouldn't experience more than 1-3 FTF in 500 rounds. Anything above that is either an ammo or gun problem. First thing I'd do is try different ammo to rule out the gun. CCI standard velocity is the "gold standard" for performance quality in my area.
Inexpensive/bulk 22LR ammo is notorious for having quality issues; that's why they price it the way they do. I'm convinced that the mfg. batch test each lot for meeting quality standards and the lots that don't, become bulk. For them it beats scrapping 10's of thousands of rounds, but we end up getting stuck with the junk.
