Federal Gold Medal has a long history in competitive shooting, and its 6mm Creedmoor load brings that line to one of the most popular precision cartridges today. This listing is Federal Premium Gold Medal 6mm Creedmoor 107 grain Sierra MatchKing boat tail hollow point ammo, MPN GM6CRDM1, sold as 200 rounds for PRS shooters, long range students, and anyone running a 6mm precision rifle.
Federal rates this load at 3,000 fps with 2,138 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 107 grain Sierra MatchKing is a proven match bullet with a sleek boat tail, and at 3,000 fps it shoots flat with very light recoil, letting you spot your own hits and corrections. Gold Medal ammunition is loaded with match grade components and tight tolerances to keep velocity spreads small. As a match bullet it is meant for target shooting, not for hunting game animals.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, including the Ruger Precision Rifle, Bergara B-14 HMR and Premier, Tikka T3x TAC A1, Savage 110 Elite Precision, Masterpiece Arms PMR, Seekins Havak, and many custom actions. A common question is whether 6mm Creedmoor barrels wear out quickly. The cartridge burns a lot of powder for its bore size, so expect a shorter barrel life than with a 308, often a few thousand rounds depending on use. Another common question is whether a 1:8 twist stabilizes 107 grain bullets. Yes, a 1:8 or 1:7.5 twist works well for this weight.
Federal GM6CRDM1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive match grade primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, so your data stays accurate through a season of matches. Chronograph a few rounds from your own barrel before a match, since velocity varies from rifle to rifle and your dope should reflect your gun.
