Well that makes sense but is not what I do . I worked up a hunting load for my Ruger American but sometimes shoot them out of my Savage target rifle

. Is that bad ??? They are not max , more like mid range charge .

I always thought if I worked up a good safe load in one 308 I can shoot it in another . Heck I have guys at the range shoot my reloads all the time to confirm they are accurate and work in multiple rifles .

Why are factory loads good to shoot in any rifle but my (with in spec) hand loads are not ??

This is not me being passive aggressive . these are real questions I would like to know .
