What's acceptable FTF on inexpensive .22lr?

[NJM15]

It all depends on the gun

I have a Sig 226 with the factory .22 conversion it fails to fire on about 5 out of 10 using Goldens but eats Mini's. My GSG AK.22 will shoot anything except when it needs cleaning.. I have a bucket of goldens. I find that the goldens have a loose fitting bullet in the case, maybe they don't hit the ramp properly
who knows. The Federal auto match are a second choice

A lot of no fires usually work if you reload them, someone told me that the problem is the liquid primer in the rim is not distributed completely around. I think they are done by using centrifugal force spinning them. Maybe "someone told me" is not always right, but again who knows

I have not experienced any failures to fire in the last several decades. I limit myself to CCI standard velocity, and fire out of quality clean firearms, most often Ruger MK II, S&W K-22, Colt 1911 .22 Conversion on a Series 70, and Winchester 62A. My worst problems are keeping the K-22 cylinder clean enough to not bind, and keeping the Colt 'floating chamber' floating, but the remedy there is to clean them well after several boxes of ammo.
So, my variables are very few, but my success rate approaches 100%.
