[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1734976, member: 38048"] I always start with the bullet I want to use. If I prove through testing that my rifle will not shoot that bullet I will go with my number 2 choice. Most of the time I can get the bullet I like to shoot. You can only learn so much from a factory load. But if it shoots a factory load good you will probably be able to load that bullet yourself and be better. But definitely don't exclude a bullet because it didn't shoot good in a factory load. Once you reload you will never use factory again. Although I do shoot factory bulk 5.56 because it's so cheap and shoots good enough for what I do with it. But here is an example of factory load vs hand loads. I shot some 69 gr match kings in a 223. Factory shot 1.5 inches. I thought man gun don't like that bullet. But on a whim I broke some cases down and loaded them back up with the Sierra accuracy load from the book. .05 inch load. Same cases. Same primer. Same seating depth. Different powder. Good luck.
