Anything's possible but I'd bet most guys here would tell you that they have never been beat by factory ammo in their guns. I have had some guns that my stuff beat the factory stuff by 50% on the first go around. I had one stubborn 22-250 that gave me fits for 5 years. It turned into an almost 1/4" gun when I fed it 40 grain Nosler BTs. If you reload, you will be hooked.
