About a year ago, I bought 3 bricks of GE match .22 rifle ammo.After shooting through 1 brick and starting on the next,(over a few months) I noticed that 1 of the bricks is .22 match pistol instead of rifle ammo.Since I've shot a few boxes, it's too late to return it.Amazingly,both types shoot the same in 2 of my rifles (both bolt action I don't use GE in my semi-autos).Seems like there would have been some difference in groups.Guess theres not much difference in the two.Any comments from others? THANKS Joe.
