With rifles and handguns I use mostly handloads. I do try to carry factory for CCW but duplicate them with handloads for practice.
I tend to try to match a factory loading at first. Then I load a cup and core(usually Hornady) bullet for practice and deer. then a quality premium bullet if hunting sheep, elk and antelope with the rifle.
For example with my '06 load I use 180 Hornadys for practice and deer, Partitions for everything else. It copies the 180 C/L PSP for trajectory. It is used in all my families '06 rifles.
In .338 I use 225 Hornadys for most things but factory TBBC's for bulls (I have a stash).
I haven't loaded shotshells for a while. I still have the Sizemaster but I don't shoot enough shotgun to bother. I have never loaded slugs but I would like to learn.
