Federal 308 Win. 185gr Berger Juggernaut OTM Tactical Ammunition, 20 Round Box – GM308BH185

I bought this for my Tikka T3 X HB in 6.5 Creedmor , Federal Gold Medal Match best components and tolerances “ Nope “ . I had 6 rounds out of 20 that would not chamber and had one that the neck was split all the way to the bottom of the shoulder ! I am very lucky that is one that would not chamber it could have damaged the rifle and possibly injured me. I will be contacting Federal regarding this as I find it unacceptable performance and no quality control.

Me and my Mossberg predator love these rounds 3 round groups in the same hole at a 100 yards and moa at 850

I just thought I would call this out because I am super fun: This is the Cabela's description for this ammunition above: "Bullet dimensions designed to run well under SAAMI specifications for OAL." Contrast this with Federals description that is printed on the actual box of ammo: "Notice: This cartridge is loaded to a maximum overall length of 3.580 inches, which exceeds SAAMI standard and might not fit in all magazines" Now that I got that out of the way: this ammo is great and drops long bombs. and it feeds perfect out of my AICS CIP spec mags.

Muzzle velocity variance ranged from 8-30 feet per Sec. 1/2 MOA all day in the right gun and with the right shooter. Right price these days for ammo.

This is the most consistent factory ammo on the market for my GAP Hospitallar .308 24" barrel 1:11.25" twist rate.

The 185 gr Berger is one of the best bullets for truly long range shots. I bought these to start pushing through the transonic range where my 168 Sierra Matchkings get funky. It's a trade off. Depending on barrel twist and environmental factors, you sacrifice minor accuracy (I went from 1/2 MOA to just under 1 MOA) up close, but gain it exponentially at further distances. From now on, I'll be using these for every shot over 800.

Worked great in new gun. 4 shots sited then 5th put down an 8pt where it stood. Brother used same ammo and got another 8pt few days later. Plenty of meat for winter.
