Leeboy, the only times I have has a FTF was using Remington ammo with their hard primers. To answer your question, I don't wait. I just cycle the shell out and put it back into the magazine. It usually fires the second time around.

In over 50 years of shooting, I have never heard of a shell that FTF self detonating. Maybe someone has.

Understand that I like Remington ammo. Use it a lot. I like the other brands also, especially Federal. Remington's primers are very hard and if you will note after you fire several brands through the same gun, all will have deep FP impressions except Remington. It will have a shallow dent. It is the only ammo that gives me a FTF in all my guns and then very seldom.
