I'm fairly new to reloading. I've been doing it for just a few months.
I've told some friends about how much more accurate I am with with hand loads vs factory ammo.
This inevitably leads to the question of why! And I don't have an answer. Are the bullets (projectiles) not of a consistent weight? Is the volume of powder per round inconsistent? The crimp? What is it about the factory ammo that's so different from reloaded stuff?
What I do know is that I'm reloading .38 spl with 4.4 gr of titegroup. I keep my brass separated by brand & number of times reloaded, and I've used 125gr JHP from speer, hsm & hornady.
So what's your take on this?
