175 Gr FGMM Powder type?

[JNel]

Does anyone know what type of powder Federal uses in their 175 gold meda match ammo?

This has been gone over many times before (try the google search engine for the hide). It turns out that Federal used their own blend of powder. Many have speculated what it actually is, but I'm not sure if anybody actually knows for a fact. I use Varget (45 gr) and have had good results.

42 grains of IMR 4895 will get you in the general ball park.

43.1gr of RL-15 does pretty well in mine.
