Re: Federal 175gr Gold Medal Match in 7.62x51mm
basically yes. ive only had one gun in 308 i couldnt shoot it in. a h&r handi rifle the fired case would stick in the chamber. both my remingtons and m1a shoot just fine with it.

Does the NATO case create more pressure in the 7.62x51 case than the standard .308.

Bumping this back up, I would like to ask- for anyone who has used it, how is the accuracy? As good as Gold Medal Match 168 grain? (.308)
I'm thinking about buying a case, hadn't really seen a review so I was curious.

All depends on the rifle but.... I've had good luck with certain lots of lake city 118LR..... I can shoot 5 GM and 5 LR and still be about half minute (roughly) at 300m for those 10 shots. Not bad, not the best. I havent taken GM past 500 but Im sure it will be about the same if I do my part. Id see how both shoot if I were you.... never know.

I don't have experience with FGMM 7.62x51, but every type of FGMM I've used (168 gr. and 175 gr.) have always been consistently great performers. I doubt these will be any different.

I've been shooting a lot of it because of the price, but interested in trying something else as my "go-to" load, now that the 7.62x51 can be had for a reasonable price. The 175 grain .308 is not a good price.
