A Remington 700 SA. I have a crapload of the standard ball ammo, hoping to get the best possible out of it. I have one rifle chambered in 7.62 and it makes me happy if that ammo crowds 2 inches in it. It would just be training ammo but want the rifle to handle sleek bullets in the 150 to 180 grain range. A guy bet me his M1A can outshoot any bolt gun. I want to beat that guy also.
Standard ball ammo, depending on the batch, may not shoot all that great even out of a good rifle. Are you going to compete against him with ball? If so then at least sort it for runout.
You may also want to put a mic on the bullets of that ball ammo. If you look at a lot of prints for "match" reamers the freebore section just ahead of the case mouth is 0.3085" which is generally a good thing. The problem is I've measured some military fmj projectiles at 0.309" on the shank.
