Hi hanco
I have never killed any game with factory loads. However, I have shot a lot of factory ammo helping people zero their rifles and even convinced a few of them to become handloaders. By the way, my public gun range was Outdoor Life's gun range as Jim Carmichael lives somewhere in Johnson City, TN my home town. I am acquainted with Jim only and can say hello when we cross paths over the years. Like Mule Deer, he has vast experience that I will never be able to have. Anyhow, I've never shot one critter with factory loads Except killing hogs at slaughter time on Thanksgiving Days with .22 longs from a old single shot bolt action Remington fifty years ago.
