Which model M1A depends a lot on what kind of shooting you intend to do. For just plinking the standard model is fine, if your going to shoot competition then the supermatch is the way to go. If your on a budget the loaded and match models are compromises. All can be upgraded to the supermatch level, but its sort of like building a 911S Twin turbo out of a stock base model 911, expensive, time consuming and probably not worth it.

It also depends on how good a shot you are, just like driving a race car. If the base model is better than you can drive, then the high end model is money wasted. All are fun.

I am looking for good match ammo or components at good prices. I have been using Lake City Match 72 cases but need tips on best loads (H4895 or Varget or IMR4895??) and bullets (168g Sierra or Hornady A max or 155g Sierra Palma??), best velocity 2550fps, 2750fps or ???
Bullet seating- on the lands, 0.020" off the lands, just oal? To crimp or not to crimp, best primers CCI BR2, or ???
