Factory ammo as good as hand loads?

[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 771141, member: 48043"] I was running a test charge run up with my father's 7stw years ago with AA 8700 and 140 grain sierra bullets. I ran a 6 grain spread from 89 to 95 grains( I know 95 is stiff- I wanted to be sure of the rifle's actual top load) at 1 shot per each charge over a chrono and into the target at once. I had a 300 fps extreme deviation but less than a 1" group at 100 yards. At further than max pbr this would matter, but to most guys three of each charge would have been a box of ammo. [/QUOTE]
