    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Dan gave me this load information back in May when myself and two friends attended his long range shooting class. In our discussion I said I could not load anything that shot as well as the FGMM ammo in my 308. So I took his info home with me. Loaded up ammo using prepped FGMM brass, GM210M...
