Match 308 Brass

What make "match" marked brass special (if it is)?

Have a bunch of LC and IMI match stamped brass mixed in with the lot I am prepping and was wondering if there was any reason to sort it out.

Match

The word speaks for it's self. It really depends on how anal you are about reloading. I would separate them because the different brands will be different. I might load them the same, but I will only shoot one brand at a time. Their specs will be the same which means they will react similar to the same load of powder and the same OAL.

I am always looking for LC Match brass. It shoots great in my Remington 700 and M-1A with my recipe. I always get good results with them.

The term "match" when applied to ammo means from round to round there is more uniform consistency. Lapua brass, for example, when you weigh and measure it will tend to be more uniform than your average Winchester or Remington brass. With match ammo, everything else is more uniform as well, so unlike plinking ammo that can give you wild variations in velocity between shots - match ammo is more consistent. That's why it costs more too.
