Interesting!

Firearm blog had an entry for a new match grade ammo for 7.62x51 rifles.

I don’t cotton to match ammo generally. I don’t shoot well enough as it is, and giving me match ammo is like putting lipstick on a pig. Surplus rifle ammo suits me fine, and is less of a waste of money. I said ‘less.’ There are so many people that it would be a better use of resources if I just gave them my ammo instead of using it up myself in my fumblings.

The other issue with match ammo and me is price differential with the surplus style ‘plinking’ ammo. You don’t lay up 1000 rounds of match ammo for Zombie response unless you are quite wealthy, or good enough to be a sniper. Or Swiss. All their citizen-soldiers use is match ammo, I gather.
