The Barnes Precision Match 5.56x45mm NATO 69gr OTM (Barnes part no. 30846) loads a 69-grain OTM in 5.56x45mm NATO for precision and match shooting. Barnes tunes this load for the accuracy and uniformity that separate practice ammo from match ammo. The open-tip match (OTM) bullet is turned to tight tolerances with a boat-tail base, built purely for the round-to-round consistency competitive shooters need at distance. In rifle ammunition, this is the load worth feeding a precision rifle or pistol built to shoot small groups.
