[QUOTE="winmag, post: 410528, member: 22166"] Not always the case, but when your squeakin out every last bit of accuracy so you can fully depend on consistant ammo it helps to have the same lott number. If you ever get the chance to measure factory ammo for C.O.A.L. youd probably choke:D. On the other hand factory ammo has come a LONG ways from what it used to be. If you read some of the re-loading posts on here youll notice alot of comments about seating depth, and how crucial it can be for fine tuning accuracy. Factory ammo has to fit ALL chambers, so its gonna work great in some rifles and so-so in others, and not worth a darn in some rifles. Powder is another deal all togather. Its like having a NOSS button on your trigger:D. You can exceed factory velocity in most cases, giving you an edge for reaching out there. As long as it meets my personal accuracy standards, I hot rod the snott out of it. When accuracy starts to go away, I back off to a more mild accurate hot load- again your ahead of the game. Theres tons of little things about hand loading add up to a suprising amount of accuracy gain over factory ammo in most cases. Usually the farther you shoot, the more you notice the little things adding up. There is accurate factory ammo. There are guns that like anything you shove down thier throat. Theres also guns that only like 1 lott number of 1 particular brand of ammo. Hand loading, or factory ammo, Either way you can achieve accuracy. It just takes time to find ''the'' load or brand. 1 gives you the option to tailor it to what your rifle likes, the other is what it is. If its accurate, shoot it. [/QUOTE]
