Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
This is pretty much what I feed my Anschutz. It does moa groups for me and is really pretty cheap. For a match I would buy better but this is my every day ammo and I have always been pleased.

This mirrored my experience, but it was a 10/22 in my case.

Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
The only other ones I've tried are Wolf Match Target and Eley Sport. Had the best groups with the Wolf and it's reasonably priced. On a side note, anyone know what that funky coating they put on the Wolf is? It kinda gums up the chamber after a couple hundred rounds.

Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
The box I tried producted more flyers than the Fed 810, AutoMatch (from Walmart, bulk), or Fed Champion.
Could just be my rifle or that particular box. YMMV.

It didn't shoot as good as Wolf Match Target in either of my 10/22s.

It didn't shoot good at all out of my MkII FV-SR. I think I had just as good of groups with Remington subs.

There is more than 1 FGMM 22lr load. Fed #719 is a HV load #711B is subsonic.

Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
the red box? works pretty well through a savage mkii at 50 and 100 yards.
again as mentioned above not as good as wolf (but not as expensive) but is better than many ammos out there.

Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
Try it and see how your rifle shoots with it. I shot up boxs of about 6 or 9 different kinds of ammo shooting groups with my CZ before I decided that my rifle likes SK Jagd and bought a brick or two.

Re: Federal Gold Medal Target
Out of curiosity, if it is available locally, what are you paying for 711b? I'm thinking even the rip off house Gander Mountain is about $37 IIRC. Midway's gonna ding you for shipping also.
I like 711b, and I would agree also that AutoMatch is very respectable in what i have used it in. Someone once claimed the AutoMatch was 711b that didn't quite make 711b standards(FWIW). Niether compare to Wolf MT from my experiences.
