The Federal Gold Medal .223 Remington 77gr load (Federal part no. GM223M3) pairs the Sierra MatchKing boat-tail hollow point with Gold Medal match components for long-range competition. Federal builds the line around a benchrest-quality Gold Medal primer, Federal brass and a specially formulated propellant, aiming for consistent ballistics from one box to the next. The 77-grain bullet leaves the muzzle at 2720 fps, and Federal describes the uniform match jacket as the key to consistent long-range accuracy. This is match ammunition for the shooter who wants a documented, repeatable load for high-power, service rifle or long-range target work in a .223 Remington rifle. Each box holds 20 rounds, a count that suits a string of fire at the range.
