Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cheap and expensive ammunition for shooting?

Expensive ammunition, like Federal Gold Medal Sierra Match King, is often designed for precision shooting with tighter tolerances and better consistency. Cheaper ammunition, such as PMC Bronze, is generally reliable for plinking or function checks but may not offer the same level of accuracy for demanding precision tasks.

When is expensive ammunition worth the cost?

Expensive ammunition is typically worth the cost when precision is paramount, such as for competitive shooting, long-range accuracy, or when trying to achieve a very fine zero on a rifle. For casual shooting, plinking, or basic function checks, less expensive bulk ammunition is often sufficient.

What rifle and chassis were used for the ammunition comparison?

The ammunition comparison test was conducted using a Remington 700 rifle outfitted with a WOLFS chassis. This setup was used to evaluate the performance differences between the two types of ammunition at 100 yards.

What are the two types of 308 ammunition compared in the video?

The video compares PMC Bronze 308 147-grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail ammunition against Federal Gold Medal Sierra Match King 308 168-grain ammunition. One is presented as a budget-friendly option, and the other as a premium precision round.
