Default MATCH ammo vs. "Special Ball"

During my service rifle competition days, I shot up a LOT of G.I. Match ammo. For the Garand M1 it was the M72 .30 Caliber match ammo. For the M14 it was 7.62 NATO M118 Match ammo.
Both types were loaded with 4895 powder and 173 grain boattail bullets.

I understand that nowadays the Match ammo has been replaced with what they are calling "Special Ball" ammunition.

What's the difference and how good is the new stuff?

Anybody know?
