Factory HPBT are pretty good outta the box but custom loads, when done right, will almost always outperform HPBT in terms of precision but the later aren't as practical when it comes to wide-scale military applicationsHPBT vs custom loads will also display some level of discrepancy in performance ?
At longer ranges like if you're pushing out to 1500+ yards where .338 LM is typically used, even small inconsistencies in velocity or drag coefficient start to compound where I wouldn't trust OFB ammo to perform.
I'm unsure of SSS's rifle performance but if you're using a high-end rifle like AXMC, MRAD or Desert-Tech (commonly used by US SOCOM Tier-1 units) HPBT is the norm unless you know your use case involves wind reading and transonic flight past 1 mile, where custom loads might come into play
