Re: Ammo Choice
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!
