While individual load specifications matter more than the manufacturer on the box, ammunition brands naturally specialize in distinct shooting disciplines. Certain makers engineer their lineups primarily for long-range match competition, others prioritize lethal terminal performance for big-game hunting, and some focus on cost-effective, high-volume range training. The breakdown below outlines how the premier ammunition brands available at Mile High Shooting align with specific shooting applications, helping you select the ideal factory load for your rifle.
Hornady ammunition is purpose-built across distinct product lines: Hornady Match is loaded with high-BC ELD Match projectiles for extreme accuracy on paper and steel, Precision Hunter utilizes terminal-expanding ELD-X bullets for long-range big game hunting, Frontier supplies cost-effective FMJ rifle ammo for high-volume range training, and Hornady TAP (Tactical Application Police) serves specialized law enforcement and duty applications. For small-game and predator control, Hornady also manufactures dependable rimfire ammunition, including .22 WMR and .17 HM2 V-Max loads.
Where Hornady truly leads the industry for long-range shooters is cartridge innovation and factory availability. If you shoot modern, high-performance cartridges such as 6mm ARC, 6.5 PRC, or 300 PRC, Hornady delivers out-of-the-box factory Match and Precision Hunter loads with proven ballistic data making it the ideal high-accuracy starting point before you commit to custom handloading.

A brand name alone does not determine how a box of ammunition will perform, because every major manufacturer produces loads tailored for entirely different shooting applications. Match-grade ammunition is held to strict manufacturing tolerances across case dimensions, powder charge weights, and bullet seating depths. This precision control minimizes extreme spreads and delivers the low velocity variation required for consistent hits at extended ranges. In contrast, standard range ammunition prioritizes cost efficiency and cycling reliability for high-volume drills at shorter distances. Shooters should identify their primary use case first, whether competition, big-game hunting, or training, and then compare brand offerings within that specific category.
Each brand names its lines by purpose, which makes it easier to compare like with like. Here is how the lines at Mile High sort out. For match-focused shopping across every brand, see match ammo.
Ammunition lines at Mile High by purpose
Two match loads from respected brands can shoot very differently in the same rifle. Once you have narrowed it down, buy a box of each candidate, shoot groups from a supported position, and run them over a chronograph to compare velocity consistency. Mile High carries chronographs in tools, electronics, and data collection.
When one load wins, stick with it so your data stays valid. Mile High will ship the same lot number within an order, or contact you if it cannot; more on that on the main ammunition page.
The best precision ammo is the load your rifle shoots most consistently, so test before you stock up. Mile High's precision lineup centers on Hornady Match, Berger target loads, Lapua Scenar, and Federal Gold Medal Match, which gives you several strong candidates to compare.
Yes. Both are part of the Nammo group, and Lapua and SK .22 LR are made at the same plant in Schönebeck, Germany, on separate production lines. Berger is also part of Nammo.
Yes. Match shooters can compare Hornady Match, Berger Hybrid Target, Lapua Scenar, and Federal Gold Medal Match, while hunters can choose from Hornady Precision Hunter and Berger Elite Hunter.
Shoot the same number of rounds of each load in the same rifle, measure group size, and record velocity over a chronograph. A load with tighter groups and less velocity variation will hold its point of impact better at distance.
