Yes, but when you take into account that only a small percentage of hunters load their own ammo the cost and availability of factory ammo can be an important consideration.

I have 4 rifles chambered in 35 REM and bought a couple hundred rounds of factory ammo when Dick's decided not to sell shooting sports gear.
