I like to get factory ammo if it shoots decent and has the bullet I want. The main reason I reload is to get the bullet I want with the charge I want in the brass I want. If I get close with factory ammo and the price is decent I'll go that route. Plus I'm still measuring charges one at a time by hand so weighing out 20 charges at a time is an exercise in patience for me. Maybe santa will bring me a powder meter or chargemaster for christmas. With loaded ammo you can just get to shooting then keep the brass.
