[QUOTE="NightmareArmory, post: 1157459, member: 73382"] Hi, I have a new Remington 700 SPS Tactical 20" .308 It is mounted in a MDT TAC21 chassis with Primary Arms PA4-14XFFP Mil/Mil scope, Magpul PRS butt stock, Harris bipod among other goodies. I plan on using for benchrest and prone target shooting at 100yd indoor min distance and 888yd outdoor max distance. I am in the process of purchasing ammo for breaking in the rifle and wondered if I could ask for input on the (2) rounds I found available that seem to be high quality off the shelf ammo. I currently do not have the ability to do reloading. The Hornady 8077 at 178gr (3 grains greater bullet weight) has significantly better specs over the Federal GM308M2 from what I have found Muzzle energy is 3043 ft lbs vs 2627 Muzzle velocity is 2775fps vs 2600 Do I need to be concerned with this difference if they are close to the same cost per round? Thanks for your input! [/QUOTE]
