Several of my rifles have never chambered a factory round, obviously the wildcats but I'm talking plain ol 308, 260, 223 etc. Have only seen handloads. I borrowed a 25-06 from my old man about 15 years ago to shoot an elk when I was home on leave. That was factory ammo I used I guess. Aside from that it's been 20 years for me since I used factory ammo to hunt, from a rifle anyway.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
