Where do I find load data for commercial bullets?

Where can I find data to emulate the Federal Gold Medal Match 168 grain .308's?
I'm sure this has been researched to death -

Maybe with not only Sierra bullets but with other bullets that have the same ballistics - so I dont have to regen all my dope but simply validate it.

Sorry, there is no shortcut. FGMM uses a non-canister powder lot, that you cannot obtain.

All you can do, is experiment, chronographing each load, until the velocity matches exactly the factory FGMM as fired in your rifle.

Regenerating all your dope for a good reload developed by you would be far easier. If your feeling lazy just stick to factory fodder.

It's impossible to find their powder and mixes they use. Be way better off building your own loads.
