Federal Gold Medal Berger

Federal Gold Medal Berger loads feature an advanced boat-tail bullet with a high ballistic coefficient to provide the flattest trajectories, less wind drift and surgical long-range accuracy. To get the most performance out of the bullet designs, these loads use Gold Medal match primers, Federal brass and specially formulated propellant, and they adhere to Federal Gold Medal Berger strictest specifications for accuracy, pressure and velocity. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases. 6.5 Grendel Ammo is available online.

Federal Gold Medal Berg is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but it doesn’t seem to have a definition anymore. For some manufacturers, “match” is a category taken seriously, and a lot goes into crafting the most consistent and accurate ammunition available. For other manufacturers, “match” is simply a term that represents ammunition intended for use on paper or steel targets. I thought it would be a good idea to review what goes in to making the former, just so we can appreciate what’s available for quality-­focused riflemen.

Federal Gold Medal Berg starts with a good brass case. Raw brass destined for use as a cartridge case arrives at the manufacturer in sheets. Machines punch holes in the brass sheets, forming small, thick cups. These cups then go through a four-­step drawing process where they get squished into the shape of the final cartridge case. Staying on top of tooling design and wear is the point where match cases begin to stand apart from bulk brass cases. Small amounts of wear in the forming dies yield significant differences in the finished cases. With Federal’s Gold Medal ammunition lines, brass is monitored very closely.
