Yep...has real tight throats and zero tolerance for out of spec ammo. But since it will not do any of that with factory loads...where is the problem...the gun or the guy who loaded the ammo.

I wouldn't consider your reloads out of spec.

You're dealing with reloaded ammo in a very tightly chambered gun. Just like 99% of .308 factory rounds will go into all rifle chambers the round you make up as optimum for one rifle may not chamber in another... So with a FA you just have to tailor the load a little more to the gun than a Ruger or S&W...to me it is worth it...
As to holding their value, a lot has to do with the configuration and caliber. Just saw a used 97/.22-.22 Magnum 7.5" with black Micarta grips sell for $2150. Same gun brand new but a 5.5" barrel and ivory Micarta grips sold for $2395.
Put a used 4.25" .41 Magnum out for sale and it will bring $2K+. 5.5" .45 Colt that cost the same money will only bring $1750.00.
Buy new only if you can't find what you want or will settle with...it is just like a car...
