American Whitetail--why bother? - Page 2

I reload all my ammo too--but every now and then I'll run some factory stuff--sometimes for things like brass harvesting or pressure/velocity calibration. I don't remember the last time--if ever--that I've shot factory stuff through my creedmoor--impressed nonetheless. The "mainstream" hunting cartridges are hard to beat for their price/performance points.

PS--I'm not big on using someone else's found brass--but that's just me.

I use plenty of range pickup handgun brass.

But I generally avoid it for rifle cartridges (except for .223/5.56). I do make exceptions, such as finding a pile of 20 fired .243 cases next to an empty Remington ammo box. ...But those occasions are rare.
