    Ammo Costs - Federal Premium Match - 175g vs 168

    Re: Ammo Costs - Federal Premium Match - 175g vs 168 If you can qualify, I picked up a few cases of 168gr FGGM from CMP last year...I wanna say that they were under $0.75/round. I mostly shoot my handloads but use them as referents for target and hunting loads from my several .308s. Good...

    Re: remington 700 sps tactical aac-sd. good ammo? I'd probably step up to 175gr Sierra Match King bullets for 500 yards or even 190gr SMKs for distances greater than 600 yds. I have used 168gr SMKs in my M1As and M1 Garands out to 600 yards in military rifle matches. I load 175 SMKs or 178gr...

    remington 700 sps tactical aac-sd. good ammo?

    Re: remington 700 sps tactical aac-sd. good ammo? I have had excellent results from both my Rem 700 SPSs (a Varmint and a SS) in .308 Win with Federal Gold Medal Match, 168gr. My SPS SS has a 10" twist, like your AAC-SD so you should have no trouble stabilizing the 168gr. Fed GMM is available...
