Just some info on SK ammo. Many would already know this.

Rifle Match, Standard Plus, Pistol Match and Magazine are the same ammunition. They are loaded the same and use the same 40gr bullet. The MV is 1073fps except for the Pistol Match which has a lower stated velocity because it is intended to be shot out of a short pistol barrel.
When a run of ammo is produced, it will be tested for quality. Depending on the test results, the ammo gets packaged as Rifle Match (best), Standard Plus (mid range) or Pistol Match (3rd tier). Magazine would be the lowest level SK ammunition with this MV.

Long Range Match, Biathlon Sport and Pistol Match Special are the same ammunition. They are loaded to a slightly higher MV than the first group. These three are loaded the same and use the same 40gr bullet. The stated MV of LRM (1099) and BS(1107) are slightly different as they are shot out of different length test barrels.
Again, the result of quality testing determines if a production run of ammo is packaged as Long Range Match (best), Biathlon Sport (mid range) or Pistol Match Special (3rd tier).
