    Federal 210 Primers?

    Should these rifle primers be more consistant than WLRs? These are not the Gold Medal primers, just the standard 210s.

    Range Report New M118LR loading from Federal

    I've been priviledged to do a little testing of a new M118LR loading from Federal, formally announced at NDIA a week or so ago. It's loaded with an IMR type powder, reducing temperature related velocity shifts, making the load much more consistent across a wide swing of temperatures. The...

    Difference in Federal Bulk Box Color

    What is the diffrerence, if any, between the 525 rnd Maroon box vs. the 525 rnd Blue box. Wal-mart had the Maroon for about $14, passed on it, went to another local "farm store" and they wanted $24 for the blue box! I thought it was the same stuff. I left disgusted and didn't think to check the...

    Federal XM762D is Accurate

    First time on the trigger in 6 weeks. First time using XM762D white box ammo. Only got to shoot 1 box today. This stuff is good. My one and only 100 yard group was three shots measured with Lyman caliper at .455 edge to edge. It is what I expect and get from GMM. I did not expect this at all so...

    Federal UM22 Ammo

    I just noticed that Federal has a new rimfire load....the UM22. Looks a lot like the old Ultra Match 1000A/900A ammo. That was some good 22 ammo, but supposedly Federal "forgot" how to make that ammo anymore. Does anybody know? Thanks.

    Greetings, All. I've had this buzzing around in my head for the past couple of days... Any of you have an opinion regarding the Cor-Bon .308 190gr. SMK ammo, especially versus a benchmark 175SMK like Federal or Black Hills? Does the better BC of the 190 offset its greater weight at longer...

    Federal 205 primers ok for AR 15?

    Just wondering if the Fed 205 primers are ok for AR15's? I will be using them for match loads and plinking loads out of 3 AR's. I thought I remembered reading they were too soft and could cause slam fires. Any thoughts on this? THanks, Alan

    Federal Blue Box hunting ammo

    Are a lot better than that Privi Partisan stuff I recently tried. I shoot my first sub MOA group with my .308 sps-v the other day with federal hunting rounds (150g soft point) after wondering why I couldn't hit a 6" plate at 300 yards with the Privi Partisan 168 Match stuff. I can honestly say...
