Gun and gear reviews Anyone ever shot these?

Post image

My rifle likes 168 FGMM. Wondering if these would be somewhat comparable, since they are a bit cheaper.. better BC also..

Honestly the best way to know, is to buy it 🤙

I am about to purchase a couple boxes of 168 and 175 and see what my Tikka likes shooting

My t3x prefers 165 over 180 by a significant margin.

Cheap factory 165gr can do 1 moa easily. I've got several sub moa groups at 100m.

Cheap 180gr isn't great in my rifle. It doesn't want to give me 1 moa passed 100m.

I cant imagine you get much difference in those weights. Try going 168 & 180

Tbh my 700 grouped way better with 175 than the 168. But by way better I just mean key holing vs almost touching

They’re tipped sierra match kings. They will shoot well in tikkas and rugers.

I used to clean out tenda every couple months when I was shooting much more.

Yeah I’ve been tempted to purchase the new Barnes Harvest with 165gr sierra for for that reason. They’re a bit more expensive but a round I could practice and hunt deer with..

Its literally gold medal match with a different colour tip and its the 308 magical recipe for under 500 yd itll shoot 1moa probably just scrape sub moa if you wanna get a bit more outta it go find the 175 grain

I regularly shoot these exact ones in my Tikka TAC A1 and they are great. Recently shot a 10-rd, six-inch group at 600 meters with them.

Get a box and send it lol

Its the only way to know.

u/COBernard Apr 25 '26

Yeah figured that would be the feedback, ammo varies so much from one rifle to the other.. I hunt deer with the 130ttsx out of my 20” tikka, but with the cost of them there’s no way I’m shooting TTSX just for fun lol. Might just get a box and see how they do!

My Ruger Gunsite loves these. Getting about 1moa with them. My Tikka Supervarmint didn’t like them much though, usually good for 0.4moa with various 168gr Federal Match ammos, but only 1moa with these.
