This is probably a lame question.
Regarding loading for rifles, if I find a certain factory loading that shoots particularly well in my rifle, and the bullet is available as a component, is it true that I will always be able to at least replicate the accuracy and performance of the factory loading in that bullet weight?
In other words, say I find that Nosler Trophy Grade 165gr Accubonds shoot very well in my 308 rifle. Is it a sure thing that I can match or improve on that performance by handloading 165gr Accubonds?
Or should I always buy a small box and test it first, even if I've had great results with that same bullet in a factory load, in the same rifle?
