Projectile weight, type, powder charge and burn rate, seating depth, neck tension...
The chance of getting all that perfect for one rifle out of the pack is nil.
Not true. I've seen factory ammo shoot as well as handloads in some rifles, my Howa 204 shoots the 32gn Remington Accutips very well as it does the Federal Premium grade stuff too (surprised me just how well to be honest) and a mates rifle shoots the 308 Fed Premium stuff real well too.
But generally speaking factory ammo won't shoot as well as tuning a rifle with handloads.
4 shot groups using Rem and Fed Factory ammo.
Used the Rem Factory Ammo to shoot these bunnies at 220m-257m off the side of a hill.
