What does anyone think of PRVI 308 168GR HPBT MATCH AMMUNITION? Im wondering how it compares to FGMM.

Its priced very well so I'd love to order bulk of it.

Thanks, Brian
 
Re: Ammo Choice

I have tried it in 3 different rifles and none of them liked it very well. On that note, the brass has reloaded well.
 
Re: Ammo Choice

I think you should do a search.

This question is asked weekly.

Prvi sucks.

If you are on a budget buy the USA Ammo or the American Eagle 168 grain OTM.

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

<span style="font-weight: bold">What matters is how well your barrel likes the "PRVI 308 168GR HPBT Match Ammunition".</span>

If it shoots well for you then great. If not, try some other brand of match ammo. Buy a box of everything you can find and see what works for you.

For whatever reason, my rifle really likes the Hornady 168 gr A-Max Match ammo which is $10 a box LESS than Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. At the same time, my rifle does NOT like <span style="font-weight: bold">Nosler 168</span> grain Match ammo, <span style="font-weight: bold">Hornady 178</span> grain Match or the <span style="font-weight: bold">Hornady 155</span> grain A-Max ammo (shoots the 155's ok, but not well enough to be a go-to ammo).

Or, buy a basic reloading kit and start loading your own ammo until you find that specific load that your barrel likes.

good luck and good shooting!

+1. Only tried some in my TRG 22 and it didn't like it. Gave brass to my brother. Only use lapua brass.
