Longer case life , higher velocity.
Don't like paying for ammo when I can build it for much less.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Headspace matters.
Case life matters.
Precision matters.
Accuracy matters.

I've shot more factory ammo in the 223AI than handloads. That's the beauty of it and having more horsepower in reserve doesn't hurt a thing.

I shoot 'em all and then some.
Pass the 22 Grendel in a S/A 700 wearing a DBM fed by AR mags...because theCOAL is favorable.

I like ammo in pretty colored boxes, cash and carry.. Berry's sells pretty colored ammo boxes. www.berrysmfg.comI've seldom seen a rifle that wasn't more accurate with properly crafted handloads than factory ammo, AI or not.

Best coal vs mag length usually not equal unless someone does something. Can often shoot sub optimal though and many do.

Have some, have had some others... never an issue and sometimes they made a serious difference...

Maybe not MORE accurate, but the fiocchi 50gr vmax loads in my Kimber .223 shoot unreal accurate. Shot two groups Sat. Between strings of 7-08, one 30 rds. and one 25 rds. both groups right at MOA at 100. Ordered it bulk through the sporting clays range who's a fiocchi dealer for cost since they needed a certain size order to get pricing down.
