Please tell me again, I promise not to lose it..

How can I duplicate the current 7.62 round the US military uses for it's snipers? I know I had it somewhere, but I've lost it.

BTW, do any commercial rounds duplicate it?

I wil be shooting it out of my Savage 10FP.

Can't say about military snipers, but our local SWAT team's head sniper instructor uses the Federal Match 168 load for duty and duplicates it for practice using Fed cases and primers, and the Sierra 168 MatchKing over 41.0 of 4064.

Yes, and don't forget, that is a hollow cavity, not a hollow point. The female IG from Iraq is now doing latrine inspections out on some island in the Allusion chain.
