[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 452488, member: 21068"] I've had alot of factory barrel varmint rifles over the years. I always shot factory ammo first, just to get a baseline and velocity. But only one rifle out of the batch shot factory ammo into the small groups that I could get by handloading. That rifle now belongs to a friend and that particular ammo is no longer made......needless to say, he's handloading for it now. Most factory ammo I've tested won't usually shoot better than 3/4 moa. But many times, I've been able to get the same gun to shoot 1/4-1/2 moa with good handloads. As mentioned above, it's really got alot to do with practice. I couldn't have afforded to shoot the barrels out of 3 different rifles (about 12000 rounds) if I was buying factory ammo for all that shooting. [/QUOTE]
