    It's a given that 99% of the time a tuned handload will out perform factory ammo.

    We are also assuming in this case, the test groups were shot as good as they could have been.
    The fella doing the shooting could have had a less than ideal day. Still managed 1-1.5 inch groups which I would find encouraging if it were my rifle.

    A rifle that shoots 1" with factory ammo will nearly always improve with a handload.

    Saying it should shoot one brand of factory ammo straight from the rebarrel into tiny groups because other factory rifles do it is a bit of a stretch in my experience seeing it is carbon wrapped.

    Carbon wrapped barrels are generally stiffer so in turn have different harmonics which can make them fickle when developing a load.
