Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Gold Medal 168gr OTM suitable for hunting, or is it strictly a match round?
Federal Gold Medal 168gr OTM is primarily designed and optimized for precision target shooting and competition use. The open tip match design delivers outstanding accuracy, but it is not specifically engineered for controlled terminal expansion like a dedicated hunting bullet. For big game hunting, Federal offers purpose-built options such as their Terminal Ascent or Trophy Bonded lines. That said, many hunters do use this load for varmints and medium game at long range where flat trajectory and consistent accuracy are the priority.
What firearms is this .308 Winchester ammunition compatible with?
Federal Gold Medal .308 Winchester is compatible with any firearm chambered in .308 Win or 7.62x51mm NATO, including bolt-action precision rifles, semi-automatic platforms like the AR-10 and M1A, and a wide range of hunting rifles. Always verify your specific firearm's manual and chamber specifications before use, especially when using .308 Win in rifles marked 7.62x51mm NATO, as there are subtle pressure and dimensional differences between the two cartridges.
Is the brass from Federal Gold Medal ammunition worth reloading?
Absolutely. Federal brass is widely regarded among reloaders as some of the most consistent and high-quality commercial brass available. The cases feature tight dimensional tolerances and excellent primer pocket uniformity, making them an excellent foundation for precision handloads. Many competitive shooters specifically seek out once-fired Federal Gold Medal brass. As with any reloading project, inspect each case carefully and follow published load data from a reputable reloading manual.
