Hello,

Like I'm sure you've heard, just have to try different
ones...the biathlon ammo usually has different
lubricants that work better in colder weather...polar
going to extreme cold. Also they might have a
slightly different primer.powder to burn cleaner in
the colder weather...

one thing I've found is that cheap ammunition is
frustratingly bad......don't skimp to much.

Though often the match ammo is the same as the regular
stuff, the just make sure it is of more exact
tolerances....

I like elay, use the biathlon sport to train and the
biathlon match for races...shoots prety much the same,
just a slightly tighter group (It is noticeable on a
bench.)
