[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1877450, member: 52437"] premium ammo not tuned to a rifle can shoot like garbage. If your rifle likes a particular ammo then great but unless you are shooting very high end rifles...you could end up spending a few hundred quickly trying to find a factory load a rifle likes, and then if that factory changes lots you could see it open up. I had a browning xbolt that would shoot a particular lot of high end ammo into .5 inch groups. I ran out of that ammo so went a purchased some more boxes. The new boxes shot about 1.25 inches. Still acceptable to many people for their hunting but for mine, not acceptable knowing that my rifle could do .5inches. just my two cents on that. A good press, a good set of dies, a good scale, a powder throw, brass trimmer, tumbler and trickler can be had for under 500$ especially if you find used. You will make that money back very fast, unless you did what I do and buy more reloading stuff because you get addicted lol. Then it is more of a wash haha. [/QUOTE]
