Rifle Ammo for Competition
About Competition Rifle Ammunition
Like the name suggests, rifle ammunition of this type is ideal for shooting competition use. Competition rifle ammo is found in a wide range of calibers like .223, 6mm Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester. Ammo of this type is available in a wide range of grain weights, velocities, and other styles which cater to various types of shooters. This is to say that there are competition rifle ammunition offerings for casual matchgoers and serious competitors alike.Types of Competition Ammo Loadings
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ):Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated. These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
- Open Tip Match Boat Tail:These types of loadings will generally feature heavier projectiles and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Unlike traditional projectiles, these offerings feature a streamlined boat-tail profile, facilitating better performance downrange. Material has been removed from these projectiles, hence the “Open-Tip Match” designation, helping achieve high velocities. While technically a hollow point, these loadings are designed for superior ballistic performance and not intended to function as standard hollow points.
- Hollow Point (HP):HP loadings feature hollow point projectiles like the name suggests. This removal of material makes the projectile lighter and promotes high velocities. These types of loadings are optimized for self defense or match use and have a tendency to expand on impact. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.
