[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .308 FGMM 175gr availability

Posted: 12/15/2014 9:39:43 PM EDT

I am in need of 500 rounds of FGMM 175gr .308 for a couple of matches coming up in the near future. I had a fairly large stash that I have now shot through.

Does anyone have any leads on Fgmm 175gr .308 ammo for sale? I am having zero luck looking online.

Does anyone have a good substitute? I see Fiocchi has a 175gr smk load, but I have heard nothing about it. I also see XM118LR available at some places, but again I've never heard much about it.

Worst case I can reload what I need, but my time is short this time of year and buying factory is a much better option.

FWIW the Fiochhi .223 match I have tried shot very well. Depending on your budget I would also consider the SW Ammo or AYSM 175gr match loads.

I am pondering the SW ammo. I have shot it before with good result, the only problem is the lead time for them shipping orders. The website says 2-4 weeks for the SW118LR ammo to ship and I'll be shooting a match in 4 weeks so that is cutting it really close.

You might check w Nosler Pro Shop they have some 175 grn SSA ammo on sale which uses the Nosler Custom Competition OTM bullet. Ive been shooting it at 1000 yards but have had 2 light primer strikes w this ammo and never had that problem with Black Hills or Federal. About a dollar a round on sale. Its a bit faster than most ammo which is nice at long range. 34 MOA come ups for 1000 yards compared to 35-36 for other ammo.

I don't own a single rifle that shots both 175FGMM and M118LR well. It's always one or the other.

My 1-10 twist is not picky.

Here's a link fior FGMM 168gr. This will get you out to 800 yards. I find it slightly more accurate than the 175gr.
I wouldn't trust SW ammo being delivered. I have a pending order with them since June and they still haven't processed it yet. Very poor customer service.
FGMM 168gr.

I'd stay away from superformance ammo for accuracy, it's a little too.fast to be called match. All of it in any caliber is out done in terms of accuracy by its download standard pressure equivalent. Hornady product code #8105 is what you would want over superformance. ..
