Match grade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Match grade may refer to something being suitable for a match, that is, able to compete with others.
In firearms, the term is used to refer to ammunition and gun parts that are designed and manufactured such that they do not vary more than one millimetre when fired from a test bench.[citation needed] In addition to its use in shooting sports, match grade equipment is often employed by military and law enforcement sharpshooters. Match grade ammunition is generally more expensive than comparable non "match" ammunition, but is more accurate; being capable of minute of arc or better accuracy. In order to reduce expense and fine-tune performance, many competitive shooters handload their match grade ammunition.
