About the only time I have ever fired factory ammo is when I needed cases to reload. But lately, I have just been buying 100 empty unprimed cases most of the time.......

RE: what brand of ammo do you use?
 

Handloads only for me most of the time .The only thing I buy is steelshot or 22lr .

RE: what brand of ammo do you use?
 

I seem to use Winchester ammo more than any other.
It shoots more consistent and tighter groups in my
rifles. I do have a Rem 700 that shoots core lokts best.
But all else its all Winchester. It is even much better than
Federal ammo in my rifles. I think each rifle is particular
though in the choice of ammo it shoots well.
