Description
As its name suggests, Federal Gold Medal Match is the ideal choice for those who want to “get the gold” in a competition shoot. Federal backs up this lofty aspiration by manufacturing this ammo to a higher standard with top quality components such as Sierra MatchKing bullets. Each cartridge in this case of 200 fires a heavy 77 grain version of the MatchKing at a muzzle velocity of 2,720 feet per second.
2,720 fps is a relatively low velocity for the .223 Remington, as the heavy bullet sacrifices speed for stability. Since external ballistics is more important than terminal ballistics in a match grade round, this is very much a worthwhile tradeoff! A boat-tailed profile stabilizes the projectile even further, making the point of impact as predictable as possible.
This ammunition is loaded in Anoka, Minnesota using non-corrosive Boxer primers and carefully selected brass cases.
