OK... you got me with a puzzle. I've never seen Federal Match in anything but the distinctive Red boxes.

As to differences between "Match" and "Ordinary," it's simply in the acceptance tolerances of the primer compound. In reality, the differences are very little (and sometimes the "ordinary" are more consistent in effect than the "match.")

Go figure......
