Having trouble getting hands on FGMM 175 SMK 308

[operator74656]

Hello all,
Didnt know where to put this question since it has to do with ammunition and didnt really fit into the "Reloading" section.

I am having problems finding .308 Federal GMM 175g SMK factory ammunition at all of my standard go-to online ammo sources. Palmetto has been out for at least 2 months. CTD.com hasnt had it up in at least 1 month. Even some of the more expensive sites are out of that variety. Has anyone noticed this? Does anyone have another website to find it on?

As a side note, I am looking for the "308" ammo - not the "7.62" ammo. After thoroughly looking into the difference I am trying to stick with the 308 stuff which my Sako likes.

Are you sure? I was able to order a couple of boxes of 175gr .308 FGMM just a few weeks ago from CTD.

Frankly I would suggest Copper Creek Ammo over FGMM. It's just as good if not better and way cheaper...

Might give it a try once I get done with next week's hog hunt.... although it would have to be pretty dang awesome to beat out that FGMM

And I am getting the FGMM at $20 per box which seems pretty cheap to me : )

I tested them side by side and it performed slightly better imo. I've even taken it out to 1250 yards accurately. McCourt Munitions is also good but slightly more expensive.

www.ammatogo.com is pretty good too and www.widenersreloading.com I use for bulk ammo.

It's not 308 but I've gotten reports back from others that it shoots just as good and even the same POI as the 308 stuff.

7.62 Federal 175gr match

I just ordered 4 boxes ($20 each) from Sportsmans wharehouse - plus if you use SH991 code on checkout you get free shipping (if the order is over $50 I think)

Sportsmen's Guide had the m118lr for less than a buck a round. Sorry I don't have the link but I'm not much of a techie and new to all this forum board stuff. If someone has a link that shows how to post links it would be appreciated. Also what do you guys think about the M118lr. It was chronoing better than FGMM.
