Remington 5R

[Kimberguy2004]

I have one on the way, or actually whenever the Postal No-Service gets around to delivering my letter. It's in .308 with a 24", 11.25", twist barrel. What range of bullet weights and what bullets am I likely to get the best accuracy from?

175 SMK's with Varget or H4895 lit with F210M's or CCIBR2's

Reaching the lands and grooves may be a pipe dream though.

mine shoots OUTSTANDING, but most HB 308s do..in just about any bullet weight with varget ......easly to 1/2 @ 100 to 200 yds

155's or 175 Sierra Match....either one of these will work but a lot of tactical companies during testing are finding the 155's to be superior. 4895 is the powder....and the plus is 4895 shots very well in a lot of cartriages.

and 1" < @ 300 yds
168gr matchking 41.4gr 0f 4064 Sierra's reloading manual most accurate load for that weight bullet.

It's a whole lot of gun for the money, one of the first things I did was put a Timney Trigger on to it. If you don't mind me asking did you get it brand new or used? How much?

I ordered it NIB from Tin star Shooting Range in OK. I ran across them on Guns america and called. It was the cheapest price I found anywhere, $899. That gun at my local shop wold have been another $200.
