I'm looking for opinions on the Federal Sierra MatchKing BTHP 69 Grian. I need some quality ammo for my 18" SPR.

I've found it to be inconsistant.  I much prefer the Black Hills ammo (and its cheaper too).

For the SPR you really need some Mk262 Mod 1 to make 'the set'.  Georgia Precision has some.

Otherwise try the Black Hills 68gr OTM, 69gr SMK, 75gr OTM, or 77gr SMK.

FEDERAL WAS CHEAPER??????  TRY GEORGIA PRECISION, AND THE BLUE BOX (BLACK HILLS) IS DEFINITELY CHEAPER.   I THINK IT GPSS.COM OR SOMETHING GEORGIA PRECISION SHOOTING SUPPLIES

Even the RED Box (new manufactured Black Hills is far cheaper).

Remember the Federal is a box of 20 rounds (at $21/per box that is $1.05 per shot).  The Black Hills is [b]50[/b] rounds per box.  The Red Box is $32.95 for the same 69gr SMK round - works out to $0.66 per round.  Go with the blue box and your down to $0.48 per round (less than HALF the price of the Federal).

BTW the 68gr OTM and the 75gr OTM are even cheaper...
