I have bought and hunted with premium factory ammo several times. The main reason I did was the ammo was discounted to the point it was about the cost of the bullets alone. The factory ammo accuracy with the same bullets I was reloading proved to be adequate. Maybe not quite as good as my loads but definitely good enough to do the job. i also do a fair amount of scope mounting and sighting in customers' rifles and for this I use the cheapest factory ammo I can buy. I wouldn't think of using my handloads in an unknown rifle. My liability would get dropped quicker than a hot rock. I've ceased to be concerned when a shooter leaves his rifle for me to sight in and doesn't even ask what type of ammo I used to sight it in. I started putting a hangtag on that tells what ammo, range, and suggests the owner testfire.
If a whiner returns for another such job, I require he provide the ammo he intends to use.
