7.62x51 175gr Federal Match yes or no

[cadjak]

I don't reload. I have been looking for a quantity of 175gr Match .308, for a while. I have found lots of 7.62x51 Federal Match 175gr. The best price is about $1.05 per round shipped. I read here that the brass on the Federal Match 7.62x51 is softer than the .308 commercial loading, and longer. My rifle is 700 action with M5 DBM. Is this ammo worth risking the $$? Should I just keep looking for Federal .308 match in the commercial loading? THanks

I fired about 50 of it thru my friend's TRG and it performed super well! All of it at 1000 yards. I don't like the way it looks, the brass is dirty, for factory ammo. He told me it has a primer pocket crimp. Again, it shot very, very well.
