You can't run fast enough to give me a brick of Remington .22 LR ammo. So many FTF's it's not even funny. Some I could get to fire by turning the bullet so the firing pin hit in a different spot. Some not even that would get it to fire.
On the other hand, Remington Gun Club, STS, Nitro-27, ShurShot, American Clays and Field are the only hulls I'll pick up for shot shell reloading today. They are interchangeable as they have the same hull design but you have to watch for six point crimps on the ShurShots.
However, I don't use Remington components to reload them, mostly because Remington thinks their 209 primers are worth a premium price.
It's a shame, FTFs used to be rare even in .22 rimfire ammo. Almost unheard of as a matter of fact. It's still almost unheard of if you are willing to pay for the better ammo out there. I've gone through several bricks of Wolf Mt without a single FTF. CCI standard velocity also doesn't fail to fire although it doesn't quite match the accuracy of the Wolf .22 ammo in my rifle.
Yes, this ammo is more expensive than the bulk plinking ammo most people buy but if you factor inflation, it's right at what all .22 ammo cost back in the late '60s.
