It shoots good enough but it's smokey. If you reload by the PPU as Federal brass is shit. The PPU brass is much better.

Not even close...the FGMM wins hands down.
Don't get me wrong...it is reasonably accurate and certainly better than similarly priced commercial alternatives like American Eagle 147gr, WWB, etc. Your mileage will vary in terms of accuracy, but I have gotten only 1-1.5MOA from a couple of different semi-auto and bolt action 308 rifles that are easily capable of much better accuracy with FGMM.

Re: .308 privi partisian match vs. federal gmm ?
PPU brass is not very good either.
For very close to the same price as PPU, you can get American Eagle 168 grain OTM load, easily a sub-moa load.
USA Ammo also sells several loads 168 grain SMK, 175 grain SMK, 155 grain amax (25 round box), all of them are better than prvi, loaded in LC brass. Not true match ammo, but when you consider the price and the fact that it is more accurate with better brass thna the prvi, it is a no brainer.

I have never had the Prvi Match fire worth a shit in anything I have tried it in. At least relative to FGMM.
I think MOA is good to shoot for in my experience with PRVI Match.

The 175gr Prvi Match would barely group 1" at 100 yards in my AE.
It's crap and what's more, it's so dirty that it caused known good ammo to shoot like crap until it was fouled out. I can't test it "round robin" anymore because it skews the other loads behind it.
It may be OK for slapping steel, but it's nothing like FGMM. Gold Metal Match is what other ammo is judged by.

Another option is the SSA 175 match
My gun shoots it .5 at 100 yards and I am hitting steel at 750 with it..
Shoots to a slightly different point of aim than the Federal GMM 175 but hitting a 12" plate at 750 with either with the same hold.

Well, it depends on your use.
I bought 400 rounds of it.
Take whatever the accuracy of your platform (and you) is known to be and add about .4 or .5 MOA. Is it FGMM? No. But its great for working on techniques where you want to make sure you are not showing symptoms of whatever you are working on but dont particularly care about sooper-dooper seekrit skwirrl precision.
And its even usable beyond that if you are willing to weight-sort them and put in some time to learn the differences against whatever your usual loads (and thus your existing data) are.

the load is inconsistant with too many uncalled flyers, the brass is very good though, i use it for my gas guns so if I loose a couple I won't worry about it.
