[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1954939, member: 10291"] While I would insist on doing my own load development with a rifle to be used for long range hunting or competition, over the years I know of people that have acquired rifles that included load development as part of the purchase. In these cases, the rifles, out of the box, shot superbly out to 1000 yards with sub-.5MOA accuracy and a high degree of consistency. A couple of boxes of loaded ammo were included In the turnkey package, along with the recipe. Buying the components and duplicating the recipe produced comparable results to those of the originally supplied ammo. While only an estimate, we figured that the load development, break-in, and sighting added approximately $1000 of cost to the total package, including the ammo. Additional ammo could be purchased for approximately $70/box of 20. Considering material and labor, for someone that did not have the time, knowledge, or both, $1000 for load development performed by a credible individual/company seems like it could be a good value. At least this was the case with the individuals mentioned above. IMO. [/QUOTE]
