Ford8nr, I stand corrected. I've spent enough time at the range to know that many of you guys handload to find the optimum load that performs best in your particular firearm (s). Example: At the range last year, I was shooting next to a guy that works in a local sporting goods store, and he was shooting his handloads, seeking the right load to take with him to an antelope hunt a few states away. He might have tested a half dozen rounds, before saying 'Bingo'. I wished him the best. Several months later, visiting his store, I asked how the hunt went. On his phone he showed me pics of the the trophy Antelope he bagged. I congratulated him on his marksmanship and handloading skills.
When reading the first post in this thread, I thought, well, there's another reason not to trust someone else's hand or reload. Add that to my other reasons (like the warning in the owners booklet of the last gun I purchased (maybe all of them) that the use of such ammo was dangerous and would void the warranty), and in any event, I can afford to buy brand new factory ammo. No insult was intended, and I still think most of you 'Sharp guys' can at least put together ammo as good and safe as factory stuff.
Respectfully,
Justin
