Factory match ammunition is pretty good stuff. I have witnessed the Service Rifle teams using factory loaded match ammunition at Camp Perry. Typically they use factory Federal Gold Medal, or Black Hills Match, out to 300 yards. At 600 yards they use their own homebrews.

Yes, you can duplicate the accuracy, and the velocity of factory match ammunition. You can purchase the same match bullets used in factory match ammunition, you can purchase and load equivalent powders, and you can reuse your brass.

All serious competitive shooters shot reloaded ammunition. There might be one or two who are so wealthy that they shoot factory everywhere, but the norm is reloads. And if you ever see their groups, it can be awesome.
