Precision is one thing - but for western Oregon hunting of large game - one MOA is fine. With a good rifle and decent ammo, that should be something that can be managed if the shooter does their part.Factory big game ammo is already approaching 3.50 per rounds. I dont see any reason to reload if they can make these new rounds as precise and consistent as handloads.
The reason I reload is to get ammo that I can't buy - light loads, loads with projectiles not commercially available for the cartridge, subsonic, etc - that kind of thing. But ammo manufacturers are slowly coming around in this regard - which is fine. I will still probably have to reload things like .30 cal round ball ammo for .308 Winchester - probably no commercial ammo for that.
