[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3381438, member: 33119"] The people at Hornady won't care if it doesn't shoot good in your particular rifle. There are too many variables in the civilian firearms market to manufacture a "match grade" loading. Even the custom gun makers don't guarantee their rifle's accuracy (except for certain chamberings like the .308, 300WM, .338LM) or to a couple of specific manufacturers loads like Black Hills, Federals GMM, LC, etc. You can throw $5,000-$6,000 on a custom 300 PRC or 338NM and chances are you're going to be reloading for it to get its greatest potential. Heck, I don't know of a single name brand manufacturer that makes a 7wsm with a 180gr bullet. Copper Creek loads them but I'm not paying $60 for 20 rounds. They even load the Grendel, but you'll pay $35-$45 a box. I don't know about you, but my bench loads cost a lot less. If you want to shoot bug holes or attempt to shoot bug holes it starts on the reloading bench. If you happen upon a store bought round that shoots tiny groups, consider yourself lucky, hopefully the next lot of ammo will do the same. [/QUOTE]
