I have noticed that most brands of match ammunition sell both a "pistol match" and a "rifle match" although some sell only a "match". I have always bought (for competition) RWS Match ammo, neither rifle or pistol on the box. This weekend at a gunshow, I bought RWS Rifle Match but did not notice the "rifle" until I got home. I shoot pistol matches mostly. I tried the Rifle Match in a pistol to see the results and I did not see any in accuracy.. It did seem to have more lubricant on it than I am used to on any .22rimfire ammo. I thought maybe there was a slightly slower burning powder for rifle but did not notice any unburnt granules in the action or in the barrel. Does anyone KNOW what the difference is?.
