Factory ammunition, Factory rifle

My Tikka .204 shoots Federal Premium 39 grain Blitz Kings so well that I can not imagine any reason to try to reload.
 
I have a 270 that I got when I was 15. I have never reloaded for it, ever. I have dies and bullets that have been sitting around unused for years. I use 130g Winchester PP factory ammo in that rifle. I even went as far as bedding it, re bedding it and re-bedding it again in an attempt to find a sweet spot just for that ammo. (That rifle has a wonky action and needs to be bedded just right) When I was done I had the rifle shooting that ammo to under an inch for three quick shots. I broke that stock at the wrist when out hunting so found another and began the bedding, re-bedding and re-bedding process all over until it shot good again.

That's dedication to a factory load.
