All of my deer rifles shoot hand loads. When it comes to accuracy, "good enough" is not good enough for me.
Plus, for a couple (7X57 and 6.5X55, both "modern" rifles produced since 1980), I'm not willing to give up the 200+ fps MV that factory loads would limit me to.
Years ago, I even fired some Federal Premium ammunition through a 7mm08 Rem that chronographed over 200 fps slower than advertised. AND it was nowhere near as accurate, in my rifle, as what I can put together at home.
