With the price of ammunition as it is, perhaps I should not even consider "Match" ammo for use.
But it occurs to me, just what is it?
I'm presuming that it is a batch of quality inspected bullets; for weight, dimentional tolerance and perhaps with some manufacturers; dynamic balance. And then too, a more even burning powder, and another costly human labor of final step production inspection of things like primer seating, bullet depth, and that type of thing.
Or should I be cynical, knowing today's commercial greed and deceptive labeling? Like "Match;" that is intended to meet some competition criteria for required bullet weight or velocity in order to level the shooting range -field.
Or, some other even less explicit definition so that more money can be demanded.
Now, with "Match" ammo; could the shooter expect a 5%, 10% better score, over a standard ammo from the same mfg., same bullet wt. and style, ect.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
I may be puzzling myself over nothing here, because old mother Hubbard's cupboard is almost bare every time I have been there searching for ammo.
Except of course, if you want to feed the greed.

) . My goal was to ultimately hit a man-sized target at 1000 yards. Later, me and a couple buddies returned to the rural area we shot at as youngsters,at an abandoned stretch of train tracks that ran for about 2000 yards. Using hand-held Motorola walkie-talikies, we took turns spotting for each other from close to the target ( off the tracks sitting behind a tree, ZZIIIIIING !!!).
