A heads up: Target Sports USA has a decent sale price on the 7.62x51 175 Grain BTHP Gold Medal Match Ammo right now. If it wasn't Christmas, a case would look pretty good.

I saw those at Academy the other day. They sparked my curiosity. I wonder how they shoot?

For me, fgmm is loaded on the slow side. It is still good consistent ammo and you get the smk, try a box or 2 before committing to a case. We did have a report from one member here whose rifle did not like the stuff.
Federal brass is also known to be thin and soft, giving fewer re-loads before popping primers. Frustrating for the frugal hand loader.
ArmaLite Super SASS for sale W/ extras. PM for details.

The owner of my LGS, an ex Marine armorer, swears by it. Thinks its better than the M118LR I shoot now. According to Federal they use the military M80 brass and that it will give up to seventeen reloads. I would be happy with 5. The above guy thinks its the best non custom reload he has found. I am gonna bite for five boxes and see if I like it.
