Federal Gold Metal Match .22 (900b) for sale

[EricC]

I have one unopened, still in the plastic, brick of 500 that I would like to sell. Not sure what they are worth. Does anyone know what they go for a box (50). They are Federal Gold Metal .22 Long Rifle Match 1080fps 40 grain solid bullet

Some sold on an Auction Arms sale at $10/box last March.

What do these bullets compare to? Are they subsonic? How old are they? Sorry for all the questions, but I am not familar with them.

They are 'standard' match spec - 40 gr. lead round nose bullets @ 1040-1070 fps. The 900B is the more select match round from Federal made until a few years ago I believe. They have been superseded by the new Gold Medal and UltraMatch ammo currently available.
Google the catalog number - there is all kinds of info on them

Old Federal hierarchy was like this:
1000 and 1000b;and UM1 and UM1b: Ultra Match. absolute top notch stuff, If your gun didn't like eley, this was it's equal
900 and 900b: Match. one step down from the best, likely didn't meet the quality specs of the UM's
711 and 711b: Target. a step down from the Match series.
The "b" was 1080fps (nominal) the non-"b" was 1120fps. across all the series.

This was Federals competition ammo series in the '90's and the UltraMatch won Gold medals in the '92 (I believe) Olympics. Everyone who used it with success was crying when they stopped making the Ultramatch. My Dad and I have stocked up on the stuff and have 3000rds or so. (Definitely not for sale) I would like to buy the 900b from you, but insufficient funds to make a reasonable offer.
