![]() As with all ASYM PRECISION Ammunition, every round is chamber checked and hand inspected to ensure flawless performance. Per their website: “All of our 9mm match ammo is loaded in our own match grade brass, custom made to our specifications. Often talked about for superior accuracy ASYM was an automatic addition. (Fired from a Match Grade barrel fixture) Minor Power Factor – 125 USE/SPORT: PPC Matches, Bianchi Cup, Steel Challenge, IDP”ĪSYM Precision – Action Match – 115 grain JHP Steel Challenge (Price per round $0.44) Accuracy test requirement: 5 ten-shot groups at 50 yards, with an average group size not to exceed 1.25 inches. Using a high quality match bullet, this is designed for extreme accuracy. This is also a great Bianchi Cup and Steel Challenge round averaging 1100 FPS±. Per their website: “This is the PPC match ammo used by the Homeland Security pistol teams, the Border Patrol Teams, and some of the best Police teams. Their JHP Match takes it a step further with the same requirements but with groups not to exceed 1.25 inches. Their FMJ Match AMU accuracy requirement is 5 ten-shot groups at 50 yards with an average group size not to exceed 1.5 inches. That’s their FMJ version though and I wanted to use JHPs across the board, which turned out to be fine. I was turned onto Atlanta Arms as they make the rounds the Army Marksmanship Unit and Marine Service Pistol teams use. All known for making some of the best defensive rounds available.Ītlanta Arms – Elite – 115 grain JHP Match (Price per round $0.44) ![]() To fill out the duty ammo manufacturers I went with Federal, Speer, Hornady, and Underwood. Given the cost of some of these match rounds if I can get the same performance from a less expensive duty round then I’d be a fool not to. ![]() I then got to thinking about my previous accuracy tests and how well duty ammo has performed. Between their suggestions and my own research I decided on Atlanta Arms, ASYM, Wilson Combat, and Nosler. I started a thread on asking shooters for their input on what ammo I should select for my test. I decided to go with 115 grain as I’ve never found a 147 grain round that shot well in any of my pistols. ASYM has a blog post here ('') explaining why this is. Match ammo seems to be mainly centered around either 115 grain or 147 grain bullets with only a couple of manufacturers making 124 grain. I certainly wasn’t about to buy 500 rounds of expensive ammo without finding out which was the best bang for my buck. I started researching options and quickly found there are many companies out there who claim their match ammo is the best, but I couldn’t find any data supporting their claims. Taking a long-range class with cheap practice ammo seems like a waste of the class to me. Since I had recently signed up for a new class, CSAT’s Extreme Pistol (''), where I’ll be shooting a pistol at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yard bulls (yes, yards not feet) I decided I wanted to use the best ammo possible.
