[QUOTE="DontKickDontKill, post: 140376, member: 1867"] [ QUOTE ] Well first of all, factory manufacturers of ammo hace access to new powders that we do not. The biggest advantage to handloading is tailoring the load to your rifle, not having to tune your rifle to factory ammo. Its cheaper too. My 300 SAUM Sendero is a prime example. I get 34xx fps with 165 gr Factory ammo. I get 32xx with 180gr NPs in the same rifle. The highest velocity I have shot with the same rifle was 2920 fps with 185 gr Bergers and 2950 with 175 gr SMKs. That is a HUGE difference in the same rifle. The 180s shot like poop, but the 165s shoot great.
