Who here has heard of the term "Mexican Match" for reloading?

[gun toting monkeyboy]

Still running at 75%+ that have not heard of it. So now I don't feel that bad about not knowing it.

Hornady Steel Match ammo should be call Mexican Steel Match, since thats what it is, taking cheap ammo and pulling the bullet tip and replacing it with a match grade bullet, I was thinking of doing some mexican match for my sks just for fun.

The way I understood the term...

Mexican Match referred to a "cheaper" method of creating "semi-match" or handloaded ammo from factory loads.

You pull the round from a factory load, dump & measure the powder, then reassemble with a match projectile & either the same powder or something different/better.

I guess it is older guys using an old term!

But I want to know is who beside me remembers calling a Pontiac GTO a 'goat' or was that an east coast only name?

Anyone here know what GTO stands for, and where GM/Pontiac stole it .... without googling it?
When the car crowd nicknamed the GTO "Goat", it just frosted them.

One is more likely to have heard it if they have an interest in silhouette, long range or high power competition.

I still shoot crooked though...
