[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2563466, member: 118512"] It’s just the experience I’ve had these last few years handloading vs the factory ammunition that I’ve shot. I am a handloader and take much pride in my work as such, it was just a topic that I wanted to bring up to see if anyone else has noticed they’re handloads not being as accurate the following year after sitting up that long. And because my experience with quality factory ammunition doesn’t seem to have that issue; it’s possible I’ve just been lucky with my factory ammo retaining its accuracy through the years possibly I’m guessing. Most of my hand loaded rifles shoot 1/4” MOA or less but after they’ve sat on the shelf for a years time or more they don’t seem to shoot quiet that accurately and like I said was just wondering if anyone had similar experiences with they’re handloads and if they knew the reason or reasons behind that. Thanks for the responses. [/QUOTE]
