[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2353839, member: 118816"] Well that is a loaded question. In the Army when shooting in military matches we were required to shoot unaltered 7.62 x 51 Lake City Match ammo. When we shot in civilian matches we would often pull the LC 175 gr bullets and replace them with Sierra 168 match bullets. We called these rounds, Mexican Match. Have no idea as to where the name came from. We simply pulled the LC bullets and loaded the Sierra bullets, no resizing or anything. Same Brass, Same primers, Same powder and since the 168's weighed less than the 175 LC bullet no pressure issues were involved but a slight edge in accuracy. I also used Nosler 168 gr match with equal results. The Nosler 168 gr match and 165 gr partitions were interchangeable without any difference in the rifle's zero. Lessons Learned. [/QUOTE]
