[QUOTE="stazmania, post: 3078604, member: 125472"] Do some research . Most factory ammo. Inconstant seating depth, brass weigh and length, powder charge and type, primer seating depth, It is no wonder you see factory youtube videos about group dispersion. Group dispersion is a real thing but if you reload and control the variables the group dispersion become very small. Ask anyone that seriously competes in competition. No one is winning long range with factory ammo. Is factory ammo good? Yes. Is it as good in every individual rifle as a carefully tailored hand load? No. This is where I have a problem, when all accuracy/group size/dispersion test experts come out with their results for their product and put a blanket type statement out declaring their results a gospel. Some qualify the finding by admitting that it is only a small sample size, but it is usually such a small and low key acknowledgement that it is often missed. This type of misinformation leads the new shooter that is trying to learn down the wrong path that thing could and should be better and the knowledgeable rifleman/reloader to feel challenged. There is nothing wrong with factory ammo as long as you find something your gun like. It is great for most long range out to medium type distance. for most this is inside 500 yds and that is a long way, especially in the wind with most equipment, if you are not practiced. This is just my 2 cent on the factory ammo producers pigeon holing all shooters, ammo and reloaders into one basket. That is not the case. [/QUOTE]
