[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 862209, member: 5302"] Most of the 7.62 NATO match ammo (M118 & M852) was loaded with IMR4895; none used IMR4064. But that was when Remington was operating the Lake City Army Ammo Plant. When Winchester took over, they tried some ball powder in the match ammo; was not all that accurate. Commercial company's match ammo, Federal Gold Medal Match for example used a lot of IMR4064 as well as one or two Re powders. Nobody's got consistantly good accuracy with any ball powder in such cases. In bolt action match rifles, bullets 168 to 190 grains shot most accurate with IMR4064 when the .308 Win was popular in matches. 200's and 220's shot most accurate with IMR4350. This combination won most of the matches and set virtually all the records. [/QUOTE]
