I know our bullseye guys, during matches, shooting "good" ammo, have more alibi's from FTF's than some here claim to not have in many thousands of rds.

I shot Bullseye for years and I agree there were many alibis for FTF. However, it was typically the same guys each time with the super light springs and hair triggers! My factory sprung Smith wheel gun and Mod 41 never once gave me an alibi. There are variables afoot that need to be factored before jumping to conclusions about the ammo. FTF of Ammo is a resultant symptom and the ammo is easiest to point blame at, but not necessarily or usually the problem in reality. Any gun I've had FTFs with terminated when the flaws of the gun were addressed, therefore exonerating the ammo.
