I think that Federal Gold is great ammo. The local SWAT guys left several hundred rounds at my local range once, along with the boxes. I thought I had hit a gold mine of .308 brass. After several attempts, I gave up on the brass. I could not get anywhere close to the accuracy that I was getting with LC or Winchester brass. I tried changing powder and primers but stuck with 168 and 155 Sierra MK's. Finally gave up and decided to use the Federal stuff for my disposable rounds. Your mileage may vary.
