Hi folks,

I purchased a new Centurion barrel in .243 Winchester “Match” secondhand from the PX.

The barrel is brand new and is clearly stamped “.243 Win. match”

What can I expect from the “Match” barrel?

I’m assuming it will just lead to more consistent groups in the long run using factory ammunition.

I know there is no such thing as a .243 win. Match cartridge. Is it simply a tighter tolerance chamber?

Whats the difference?
