Why factory ammo still shoots pretty accurately after time and handloads seem to diminish accuracy over time

[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2562322, member: 118512"] Was just wondering what the factories do differently when making factory loaded ammunition that seems to not be affected by the cold welding process when loading their ammo? It was recommended to me on here in another thread to use some dry lube inside my case mouths to help prevent the cold welding process to affect my accuracy of the loads if stored for an elongated period of time, but it seems that any rifle I have that shoots factory ammunition really well can still shoot the same ammo from the same box really well even if stored on the shelf for a few years. Why is that; what do the major ammo manufactors (Hornady, Weatherby, etc) do differently when loading their ammo for sale than we handloaders do that keeps their ammo shooting accurately for years? Do they dry lube the case mouths at the factory before seating the bullets in their ammo? Just curious and figured someone might have some insight on this? [/QUOTE]
