Have used a Lee Challenger Press kit since mid 80's for .308 and .223. Still going well,just don't expect to do high volume reloading in a short time.
Getting back to factory ammo, use whatever shoots most accurately in your rifle.In your case the Remington even though the Federal had the better extreme spread figures for velocity. Speed/range isn't everything,accuracy is. If target is too far away for ammo, get closer. That's what hunting is about.
