Research notes
Made by Federal in 1980 as a training round for snipers/law enforcement/military use. It is actually nothing more than a normal 7mm Remington Magnum loaded with a 168gr. Sierra Match King and a ‘special’ headstamp. FC is the standard headstamp for Federal Cartridge, with OTB being Officer Training Beltsville, Maryland. It was used by probably more than one type of law enforcement/military outfit before the move to the 300 Win Mag.
