[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 616935, member: 10"] I am amazed at how many guys want to get into long range shooting and hunting but do not handload their own ammo. This amazes me because for the cost of 100 rounds of most factory 338 Lapua ammo, you could be completely set up to load good ammo. Yes it takes a little time but not much and in the end you can get vastly superior ammo to any factory load. Handloading quality match ammo does not need to be complicated as many would make it sound like, in fact often times, the simplier you keep it the better you will be. You can take a set of relatively inexpensive RCBS loading dies, set them up properly and get ammo with neck run outs in the 0.001" range and loaded ammo with bullet run outs in the 0.002" range. Ammo loaded to this quality will shoot as good as any rifle will and vastly better then most shooters, even experienced shooters. Not only that but your not limited to what the factories want to load for you or the specs they load to, you can taylor your ammo to your riifle for best performance. All I am saying is that if you want to get serious about long range precision shooting, getting a long range rifle is really only part of the equation. Quality ammo is just as important as good rifle and good shooting skills, this is something I would never leave to commerical manufacturers, especially for the cost they charge for loaded ammo.
