I agree. Have a friend with a Traditions rifle that shoots it like a mad man with BH and in bitter cold. Never has had a FTF. My closest friend has a CVA Acura, one of the originals, who only enlarged the flash hole, hunts in the current weather conditions and has never had a FTF. You could take either of those rifles, load them properly, let them set out in this weather for days and both would fire. If the breech plug is designed for and clean, bullet seated properly, there's some other reason why that specific rifle FTF. I'd rather shoot BH than any other propellant.
