The Federal Gold Medal CenterStrike .308 Winchester 175gr OTM (brand part no. GM308OTM2) brings Federal Ammunition‘s legendary Gold Medal match pedigree to its own CenterStrike open tip match bullet. Each round drives the 175-grain OTM at 2,600 fps with a .505 ballistic coefficient — the weight long-range .308 shooters favor for staying supersonic past 1,000 yards. Gold Medal brass, primers, and powder charges are held to the tolerances that have won more matches than any factory .308 line. Among rifle ammunition, this CenterStrike load favors competitors and long-range shooters who want match accuracy without handloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot this in a rifle chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO? .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO chambers are dimensionally similar, and modern rifles chambered for either typically handle this load — but commercial .308 Winchester runs at higher pressure than 7.62 NATO military spec, so check your rifle’s barrel markings or manufacturer guidance before using it in an older military-spec 7.62 chamber.

Is this a hunting load? No. The open tip match bullet is a target design for consistency, not controlled expansion — it is built for competition and long-range practice.
