GOLD MEDAL BERGER

The most sought-after bullets among competitors on the Precision Rifle Series are now loaded into the industry’s most trusted factory rifle ammunition. Gold Medal® Berger® loads feature an advanced boat-tail bullet with a high ballistic coefficient to provide the flattest trajectories, least wind drift and best long-range accuracy.

“The quality, control and consistency of Federal’s Gold Medal match is simply unparalleled. It’s factory ammunition with the precision and low standard deviation of handloads.”

-JIM GILLILAND SNIPER SECTION LEADER & COMPETITIVE LONG-RANGE SHOOTER

Gold Medal Sierra Matchking

Long range isn’t just a distance. It’s why we build these loads. The precision-built Sierra® MatchKing® bullet is shot to win more matches than any other rifle bullet, and our exclusive primer design provides the best sensitivity and most consistent ballistics in the industry.

Federal Premium® Rifle

Abbreviation Key: BTHP = boat-tail hollow point; BTSP = boat-tail soft point; FN = flat nose; LRN = lead round nose; LSW = lead semi-wadcutter; LW = lead wadcutter; SWC = semi-wadcutter; SWHP = semi-wadcutter hollow point; CB = conical ball reduced power/noise; FP = flat point; CP = copper-plated; L = lead; J = jacketed; HP = hollow-point; RN = round nose; SHP = segmented hollow-point; SP = soft point; FMJ = full metal jacket; TSJ = total synthetic jacket; TMF = toxic-metal-free; TMJ = totally encapsulated bullet; V = vented barrel; HE = high energy (not for use in semi-automatic rifles); † = not for revolvers; ◊ = nickel-plated case; CLM=cartridge length longer than SAAMI max, may not fit in all magazines. *Molycoat: molybdenum disulfide dry film lubricant

Usage Key: 1 = Varmints, predators, small game; 2 = medium game; 3 = large, heavy game; 4 = dangerous game; 5 = target shooting, training, practice; 6 = self defense; 7 = competition shooting; 8 = pest control; 9 = low noise, training, specialty. These trajectory tables were calculated by computer using the best available data for each load. Trajectories are representative of the nominal behavior of each load at standard conditions (59°F temperature; barometric pressure of 29.53 inches; altitude at sea level). Shooters are cautioned that actual trajectories may differ due to variations in altitude, atmospheric conditions, guns, sights and ammunition.
