What's wrong with a 130 core-loc.
Well, if we’re talking about bullets for handloading, the last few times I looked at the prices for both Remington and Winchester, they were as high or higher than from the bullet companies, and that for very ordinary C&C bullets. In times past, places like
Grafs often had them at very low prices.
If we’re talking loaded ammunition, I never got the accuracy from regular-grade factory ammo as I got from even my very early shoddy handloads. A small sampling, to be sure, but once I started cobbling up my own, I’ve never looked back. Maybe the difference is not very significant under my hunting conditions, but it’s there. Some of that might be associated with brass being fire-formed in my chambers, or my usual practice of partial FLSing, but no matter. Recently, even some so-called Match ammo has been only so-so. I also read a lot of reviews of factory ammo, and some of them are pretty depressing especially considering what it costs these days. If you find some that works well for you, have at it.
