Broke out some .308 match rounds today and shot. Best they could do was 2-1/4" groupings. I broke out the remmy 158 gr and 1-1/8" groupings.

Hmm, match doesn't equal match in all rifles. When manufacturers make ammo I think by match they mean precise loadings. Accurate powder charges is usually a starting place.
Then sometimes they will throw in match primers, load in lots depending on bullet weights,
And they will also use higher quality cases in some match loads.

Like it was said before "match" doesn't mean you will get the best performance. There are a 100+ factors that determine what kind of ammo you rifle likes best, twist rate, barrel length, action of the rifle, the powder, the primers, the casings.
What ammo is it? What is the weight?
I wouldnt think its the quality of the rounds leading to the performance as much as your rifle doesn't like that weight ammo.Last edited by sutherpride59; 11-01-2015, 08:43 PM.

My bolt and my AR were shot in on 168 gr, just not the FGMM
My guns don't like it.

I'm assuming your saying that you have shot better groupings with 168gr ammo of other makes than with this FGMM.
