Mine doesn't seem to like the 175 FGGM. The 168 worked good. I tried the 168 ELD and was disappointed, but it wasn't the TAP.
Which 175 FGGM? The .308 or the 7.62 version? There's a lot of negative feedback with the .308 version in these guns, multiple issues. Not so many with issues for the 7.62 version, some lots perform better than others in these and similar rifles, accuracy wise. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but try out different samples from different lots to either buy in bulk or avoid.
I just ran into my bunker to see if I had 7.62 or 308. My 175 grain was 7.62 and my 168 was 308. Ill watch that in the future and also check accuracy of each. Even though its not apples to apples.

For the Federal 168 SMK loads, don't skip over the Federal A76251M1A option to try out. The 762 M1A 168 GR OTM can be a better choice overall in these compared to the FGGM 168 offering. It's worth it to try them out in my opinion at least, they have done well for some guns over the regular FGGM 168.
I'll have to try the M1A flavor.
