Bergara B-14 HMR .308 ammo question

[HarryBallz2029]

So I haven't been on SH in probably 2 years to be honest due to not being able to do much shooting due to many reasons, health being part of this issue.

I bought the Bergara B-14 HMR .308 threw a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 and a Harris bipod on it now trying to figure out what factory ammo to try through the gun first. I have searched on google for 308 reviews with no luck, its all 6.5 CM. Checked the SH search with no luck either(if i missed it forgive me). Looking for a "hunting" factory box I can buy off the shelf for this gun. Something I dont have to reload for. Although I probably will eventually reload for it being I have everything but the bullets to load. Anyone out there with any experience with this particular gun shooting factory ammo for hunting? If I get no responses I will add my results of testing at 100 yards as I go. Thanks guys.

Hmmm...Federal Gold Medal Match?

Dunno, just a thought.

I believe bergara recommends 168 FGMM.

Just sighted it in and did the break in with the 175 FGMM with some pretty nice accuracy. For sure sub-moa. Sorry no pics wasnt shooting at my normal place so I couldnt retrieve targets. I will get some targets with groups with some FGMM and Hornady Black 168 gr AMAX first.

Broke the rifle in with FGMM or my reloaded clones. After break in, try Hornady Precision hunter with the 178 grain ELD X bullets. I have and really like the results.

Ya that is one of the first factory ammo I planned on trying after I finish off my 175 FGMM. Thanks.
