Does anyone have any input on this ammo?

.308 Federal LE Tactical Bonded 165gr. SP (LE308T1)

Looking to shoot out of my R700 SPS

I picked up 400 rounds, I guess I'll find out the hard way

As far as i recall the bonded 165 gr is used for shooting through glass-hence the LE designation. The bonded projectile is less prone to shed jackets or fragment. If I am not mistaken it is a hunting type bullet that was found to be a better performer in that specific LE application.

Can't speak to the accuracy as I've never compared it to FGMM.

I have used it for work.

It's nowhere near as accurate as Gold Medal Match.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll be using this stuff around 200-300m so I'll be ok

I usually get 1.5 MOA - 2 MOA out of my barrel, lilja 1:10.

This is good to know. Thanks for the data-point.
