I bought another m1a standard. Which match ammo is the best and most reliable? I am thinking federal gold medal match in 168 grain? How much better will this group then Winchester NATO? Does the gold metal match have sealed poweder and primers? Will 168 feed the best in an m1a?

Fed, GMM 175 or Black hills 175 is my choice in factory .308 /win ammo.

If you bought another one....what did you use in the first one? Why do you care if the primers are sealed, storing it under water?

Post pictures or it didn't happen.

Haven't you heard..every Toys R Us has an underground 2000m range built beneath it to train the next generation of freedom fighters. At a training facility like that, you have to remember to take into account Coriolis and the Eötvös effect...see Lindy for details.

Unless you plan to shoot beyond 900 meters.
