federal match ammo

[mil-dot]

does anyone know what powder Federal puts into their .308 cal 168gr. match ammo

[82boy]

My guess is some custom powder, that only they have. Much like all ammo manufactures.

Someone was selling some of that Federal match ammo on our canadian forums: $500 for 300'ish rounds. It's half the reason I started loading. ;)

At one time (and perhaps still), non-canister 4895.

I would say it is "4895-ish" but the ammo manufacturers don't use the same formulas you buy in a 1lb or 8lb container.

Don't have the Federal ammo BUT have all the components needed, Fed Gold Medal Brass in 308 and 30/06, Primers, And Sierra 168 and 175 match kings just got to know what the power that is used.

do a duplicate load type search on snipers hide, there is several threads on it.

44gr of varget on a 168 shoots the same out to 300yds or if you are using a progressive re-15 at 43.6 works too, my hands loads are varget, but when it comes to ar-10 fodder i set up the dillon and use re-15 because it meters better...
