I have had a few random FTF's in .45 acp with factory ammo as of late.
The rounds would only go in about half way and most of the time I could close the slide with my thumb. I have been told that a lot of factory ammo has been showing up with out of spec taper crimps.

The pistol was clean and my recoil spring only had around 500 rounds on it.

I am pretty sure it is the ammo as 95% of the rounds feed fine and they are ending up in the chamber they just don't want to seat all of the way.

I found some WWB a little while back that had a noticeable hump right where the base of the bullet was seated. It would hand cycle fine but would FTF when firing normally.
Good for failure drills, but it got old after a while.
