I reload my ammo. I've always used Sierra 175 gr HPBT Matchkings in my .308 Win. I use Lapua brass, Federal GM 210M primers, and Varget powder. With every new powder keg, I chronograph them. Powder charges have ranged from 43.1 - 43.7 grains. I adjust the powder charge until I get 2,665 ft/sec. My sniper rifle tends to like the recipe.

A buddy of mine is a professional SWAT Sniper. His Sniper Team uses Federal GM 168gr Ammo.

168s are great too , I will probably give them a try after I break in my barrel , I have 320 rounds of Black Hills 168s BTHP , they were all I shot in my FN A3.
