TT,
I spent many years loading ammo for specific guns chasing the last 1/4 inch of accuracy and the last ten fps of velocity. That was when I was loading for myself. As my family and my brothers matured, they started shooting and hunting.
I'm the ammo maker for pretty much the whole family. As such, it really got to be a pain keeping ammo separate for individual guns. I load for many rifles, using the same cartridge, owned by different family members. As you noted, no animals have complained of being shot with inferior ammo.
