Federal Gold Match 308, 168 grain ballistics

[DTF]

Can anyone help with ballistics for Federal Gold Match, 308, 168 grain ammo ? I am shooting a Savage Law Enforcement Model 10BA rifle, 1 in 10" twist, 24" barrel. The gun is "Zeroed" at 600 yards at this time. Attempting to confirm impact points at 550, 500, 450, 400,..... down to 100 yards. My only concern at this time is elevation. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, DTF

It's all right here, there are several bullets used for that round, you'll have to find which one your using.

Try yourself with Hornady's Ballistic Calculator, these are my speed and sight height results, Federals listed BC of .462 and with your yardage inputs:

600 yd................0

500 yd.............+21.3"

400 yd.............+32.1

300 yd.............+34.0

200 yd.............+28.3

100 yd.............+16.2

It can be found here on Hornady's web site:

Best calculator out there IMO is Litz's.

Use the "Trajectory/Drift" calc., input all your data precisely and it will output what you want precisely. 168 Fed GMM is right at 2600fps from what I have seen.

Whatever ballistics calculator you use, you'll need the velocity out of YOUR barrel. You also need to input your elevation and environmental conditions. JBM is pretty darn accurate -- but get some velocity data out of your gun!

Thanks to all the responders, will start to experiment this Spring. DTF
