It all started by doing a search on the internet and asking a question about SD and how come a friend's high SD was shooting tighter groups than his low SD. Good information is valuable no matter how old it is. Still trying to find that powder / bullet / brass and primer combo that will replicate off the shelf FGMM 168 and 175 FGMM since that is all I will ever shoot or have a need for. I have tried 178 gr ELD-X think that may be the way I want to go but FGMM will be what's available if times get hard. I do have one other question I've never asked before. Is 168 / 175 FGMM the same as what the military uses in the battle fields. Meaning are the SD and MV the same and is the powder in FGMM and LC loads the same.

Lots of good information. I do agree with the fact all of my 308 shoot very well with 168 and 175 FGMM and for me this is all I am concerned about. I have tried to obtain the MV of stock 168 FGMM in hopes by using IMR 4064 I can put the bullet in the same place by using 40 grain of this which is what the disassembly powder charge was on a 168 FGMM but the powder looked as if was IMR 4064 SC ( short cut ). Since I do not know I'm going to try 40 grains of 4064 and see what it does. I do know that 41.5 grains was to fast. I need to get 2016 FPS with the suppressor on using a Garmin doppler radar unit. If anyone has a magic load please let me know. I'm shooting a Remington 700R5 24" bbl with a Banish 46
