Federal Gold Medal .223 69gr Match

Federal Premium Gold Medal .223 Remington with the 69-grain Sierra MatchKing represents Federal's commitment to precision shooting excellence. This ammunition combines Federal's premium components with Sierra's proven 69-grain MatchKing bullet to create a load that excels in competitive shooting environments from 100 to 600 yards. The boat tail hollow point design provides excellent ballistic coefficient while maintaining the stability needed for consistent accuracy across varying environmental conditions.

Federal's Gold Medal line is manufactured to exacting standards that competitive shooters demand. Each round is loaded with non-corrosive Boxer primers and premium brass cases that provide consistent internal capacity for uniform velocities. The powder is carefully selected for temperature stability, ensuring that point of impact remains consistent whether shooting in summer heat or winter cold. This attention to detail results in ammunition that delivers match-grade accuracy without the need for handloading.

With a muzzle velocity of 2,950 fps and muzzle energy of 1,333 ft-lbs, Federal Gold Medal 69gr provides flat trajectories suitable for mid-range precision work. The ballistic coefficient of .301 (G1) is lower than the 77-grain bullets, but at common competitive distances of 200-600 yards, the 69-grain MatchKing performs nearly identically. This load works best in barrels with 1:9" to 1:7" twist rates and is particularly well-suited for AR-15 service rifle competitors and precision shooters who prioritize accuracy over maximum ballistic coefficient.
