American eagle .308 M1A

[PH Racing]

Has anyone seen or shot this?
It's a new load from Federal using a 168gr OTM bullet, I'm guessing it is supposed to be an economical practice load as the listed ballistics are similar to FGMM .308 168gr

Where have you seen this in Canada, I just picked up a quantity of hornady 'match' 168 gr for 23.00 @ box, seemingly 15 cents more a round then what 762 'surplus' (insert gpmg ammo) is going for............

I just saw it on Federals website, haven't seen it here, thats why I was asking.
That sounds like a good deal.Wwhere did you find that?

Got a reply from the Federal distributor:
"The .308 A76251M1A ammo is pending approval for export from the U.S. for commercial use."

'pending approval' that could be a wait........
