[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 3070279, member: 90397"] I reload for all my ARs. In some cases like the 300BO, it's so I can get Subs that work better or 110/120 gr Barnes solids for less than factory ammo. Generally, I can't buy factory ammo that is anywhere near as good as my handloads. I mostly have precision ARs and I don't see the purpose of shooting them if I can't hit something when I'm aiming at it. I also don't like the idea of burning up my barrels shooting under performing ammo through them. I can understand that guys running high volume defensive drills that don't have the time would want factory stuff but that isn't my objective. I was out shooting with a friend last weekend who was running Winchester .308 147 gr FMJ through his Wilson Combat. The stuff had a SD of 40-50 fps and grouped about 2 MOA. He switched over to my GAP10 with 150SST and shot 1/2 MOA with a SD of 5. The factory Norma 147 gr FJM that I brought on sale was a little better at 1 MOA and SD 15-20 so I guess even for the factory ammo users there is a trade off that is worth considering. [/QUOTE]
