[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 445208, member: 13085"] Factory ammo generally has specially formulated "secret" powder recipes that are not available to the rest of us (patent pending, ... intellectual property etc). This gives them the additional velocity etc. Duplicating these results can take a lot of trial and error and many different powder/primer/brass combos etc, but the end result should fit "your" rifle better than any factory ammo. This is why we choose to "handload", and not reload (yes there is a difference). I am a huge fan of H1000 in 7mm WSM w/ Fed magnum 215 match primers in this caliber. Dont get too hung up on MV. Focus on accuracy, repeatability, environment, scope alignment etc instead. Find your load with good ES/SD. Calculate ES/SD for the factory ammo. You might be surprised to find out that it can be pretty bad. Suddenly that "impressive" MV on factory ammo doesn't seem so important because it doesn't fit your rifle [/QUOTE]
