[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 547861, member: 1521"] It can be implied that they make ammo to the best reloading standards. Better than many mass produced brands. But anyone competent in reloading could boast the same. For example, I could produce what I'm certain is 'superior' 223 ammo, using the best in components, tricks, tweaks, and technics. And I know it'll shoot in the 2s in my gun, with very low ES. If there were a reloading championship I would enter this stuff! But in anyone else's gun? The odds of better performance are really no better than with mass produced ammo.. If I would have only one gun, and I already knew that a lot of certain produced ammo performed well enough in it, and I could buy a barrel's worth of it right up front; I might go that route even though it would be hugely expensive today. I would be accepting that it's likely not the best, but a convenient compromise brought to my choice through shear luck. So if that's where you are, and actually can do this, I say go for it. But put more long guns in the safe, and the choices will immediately favor reloading. Not just because of cost, but for the low probabilities of meeting expectations with random selections of factory ammo. Luck is always limited.. [/QUOTE]
