    Remington 5R Mil Spec 300 Win Mag. ADVICE!!!

    Re: Remington 5R Mil Spec 300 Win Mag. ADVICE!!! I have the 5R in 308 and 223 and couldn't be happier with an out of the box rifle. You will probably find things you want to change once you shoot it for a while. My 308's trigger would go no lower than 4 lb 11 oz, but my 223 breaks at 3 lb...

    Remington 5R .223 Ammo

    Re: Remington 5R .223 Ammo I know every rifle is differen't, but both my 5R in 308 and my 5R in 223 shoot very impressive groups. However, neither of them like fast or max speed loads. I shoot Bergers in my 308 and can only push them 2540 fps before accuracy falls off. The 223 LOVES 69...

    Rem 5R difference between FGMM and Prvi (pic)

    Re: Rem 5R difference between FGMM and Prvi (pic) My 5R wasn't fond of the Amax's, but likes the FGMM and loves 168 grain Berger handloads. Amazing accuracy from a factory rifle.

    168gr Berger VLD OAL tool dead on at 2.800???

    Re: 168gr Berger VLD OAL tool dead on at 2.800??? I'm shooting the same bullets and I got better accuracy, from .75" to .372" 4 shot groups, when I went from 2.800" to 2.835". The Bergers are supposed to shoot best when jammed or close to 0 jump, but you will limit your gun to a single shot...

    What loads does your rem 5r .308 like?

    Re: What loads does your rem 5r .308 like? I see that most guys are shooting the MK's, and my 5R really likes them. However, my best groups are coming from the following: 168gr Berger OAL 2.835" - you will run out of magazine room WAY before you hit rifling 43.6gr RL15 CCI...
