Many years ago (15 or so)before premium bullets loaded by the big manufactures exploded on the marketI used Federal ammo in my remington 30.06 it shot well and was loaded with SerriaGame Kings, Federal stoped loading them. I had two choices, use the rounds thatdidn'tshoot well and had bad performance in game, or reload and use the same bullet at the same velocity I had always used and liked and posiably improve with greater velocity and accuracy by seating the bullet to my barrel's freebore. It was well worth it then, and has only grown as I've gotten more guns and gotten into IDPA.
