Not all match ammo is all that good and when you find a batch that shoots you buy quantities by the batch number. For many years the standard 38 match target ammo was Remington R38S3 this stuff was so accurate and reliable that most of the military teams relied on it as did other competitors who still shot the 38. I am sure that Federal has a similar match ammo but I don't have much experience with it. When I shot a lot a 38 bullseye I would test off my Ransom rest and buy accordingly.
That Officers Model will respond well to good ammo. I shot a Pre-War Officers Model Heavy barrel with Roper target grips for several years and had a lot of fun.
Good luck
