I am looking to purchase the same bullets that Federal uses with their American Eagle .308 168Gr. OTM.
Are these bullets available anywhere?

The Sierra 168 grain Match King should approximate that bullet.

Plus 1 for the 168 SMK. I also like the Hornady A-max and have been known to shoot the Nosler Custom Competition.

Thanks for the replies.
I was looking for a lower cost alternative so that is why I was looking for these particular Federal bullets.

Since Sierra is a company, and NOT part of the oh so happy ATK family; I doubt highly that is where they came from.
The obvious(to me anyway) conclusion is that they are sourcing from within ATK, so that is the Speer match bullet.

Yeah my guess is that it'd be a Speer 168 gr match HPBT, but I bet you can score a good price on Hornady's offering. That or keep an eye on shootersproshop.com where you can occasionally get a Nosler Custom Comp factory second which is exactly the same as their regular stuff (near as I can tell) 'cept less expensive.
