Recommendations for 308 match grade factory ammo in Vanguard

I never made such an assertion, ONCE. Matter 'o fact, I clearly pointed out the group in blue... Hornady SST.



@SKrueger kept looking at my butt, I was distracted.... BUT I was KILLING that (wrong) target nonetheless!

You should change your screen name to crossfire..

Stand out there at 300yds, and I'll let you choose a name.

You are known for not hitting the right target. I think I'd be pretty safe.

one time? It was the whole afternoon. The whole target was shot up. Admit it Spoon man your getting old!

My recall was that the 308 worked best at 165 grains, the Federal Gold Match works great at 175? Where is Pdx can you find this Fed Gold or Hornady Match ammo? Sportsmans or Fishermans? Or have to order on line? Thanks

You can find it many different places. I usually find the best prices on line.

Just about now with the hunting seasons starting up, you can usually find some pretty good deals on ammo at Sportsmans, I would check and see what they have, usually during deer season the elk stuff and target stuff is on sale/close out, and during all season, all the deer stuff goes cheap! That very same day, swing into Bi-Mart and raid the hunting calibers for the rifles you wish to feed! I scored 2 cases of Fed Gold Match last year at Sportsmans for $13.93 a box of 20, and scored 2 cases of Fed Premium blue box 180 gr .30/06 for $11.93 a box of 20! Heck, a fella could score pretty cheap on .300 win mag too, Remmy Corloked for $13.00 or so a box!

I picked up some of the Hornady American Gunner 155gr at Sportsmans and it shoots rather well for a low cost match round. $140 for 200 rounds find a discount coupon and it's a great deal

Buy a box of all the recommendations and shoot 'em My 700SPS loves 168gr Federal Gold Medal Match, groups < 1moa so that would be my recommendation but every rifle seems to like something a bit different.

Federal Gold Medal Match is a pretty good benchmark for every .308 rifle I've fired. It's a challenge sometimes to handload a whole lot better in some guns.
