This shortcut will not help. With match ammo, it's never "find the brand your rifle likes" because it doesn't work that way. There should be little doubt that the lots that shot well in the past are no longer available.
What model Anschutz 54 is this?

I did ask and I was told some of the ammo types that were very good. SK match, black box Eley match, RWS match were reported to be very good. I just picked up some match and practice ammo from Eley, BBM, SK Standard plus so it will be interesting to try a few things.
It's frequently observed that good quality match ammos generally shoot well in a good rifle, so the names on the boxes are going to get repeated by observers. The important thing to keep in mind is that match ammo is made in batches or lots, and not each batch will shoot as well as another.
Some lots of match ammo with a good name on the box can shoot like it's not really match ammo at all, some with the same name may produce middling performance, while still others shoot very well indeed.
They really need a funny hat to complete the look, and appearance with that bizarre rifle.The only thing 3P rifle shooter care about is performance...
- If you bought it as a safe-queen-collector piece, than yes. It would negatively affect value.
- If you bought it as a shooter, than no. The individual who had it replaced paid good $$ for a gain in performance.
If you bought it from the guy who had the barrel change, you can save yourself some trouble (or fun, depending how you look at it) and find out which ammo that rifle liked.
Now, get yourself a spiffy suit and get into 3p!
