    Range Report Where To buy factory match grade ammo?

    New to long range shooting. Have a Remington 5R in 300 WM. All the local stores only sell standard hunting ammo. Can somebody recommend a online store that carries good quality match grade ammo? Any recommendations on the brand or style I should be looking for? Shooting paper only out to 400...

    13 year old range report - 400 yards

    Re: 13 year old range report - 400 yards Nice grouping, thanks for posting. I'm new to long range and still in the process of cutting out my 400 yard range. I can only hope my 5r and myself can shoot this good.

    Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie?

    Re: Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie? Thanks everyone for your replies. Based on your replies and Ross' reputation and his RWS breaks I went in to the smith, he took full ownership of the problem, most likely the threads were cut down too much. He's going to cut it down and redo...

    Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie?

    Re: Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie? So can that fix the threads or do I have to have me barrel cut down? Gonna try to get the smith to get me a new rifle, don't see that as very likely though. Thanks Steve

    Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie?

    Re: Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie? After reading through the threads it sounds like a gunsmith issue and not a bad break. I notices when shooting the shots were going high and to the left, made a minor adjustment on the next shot everything was low and to the right I think this...

    Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie?

    I purchased. RWS break bases on the great reviews, had a local smith with a good reputation install it. Found out afterwards that he went on vacation and his apprentice actually installed it. Well it blew off in under 10 rounds while sighting in scope. Found it 40 yards down range. My question...

    AAC-SD or 5r Milspec????

    Re: AAC-SD or 5r Milspec???? I'm in the same boat, picked up a 308 SPS tactical on impulse, then a 300 WM in 5r, only have 5 rounds through each as no scopes mounted yet, just checking the feed. Accuracy aside, the 5r is a beautiful gun compared to the sps, really like the SS barrel, the gun...

    Remington 750 Autoloader

    Re: Remington 750 Autoloader I guess I just feel that for the deer we have in our area, the 30 06 is a bit of overkill, yea they go down fast but it also leaves massive destruction inside. Mind is not made up yet, just figured if a 308 is good for elk it would just fine with white tail...

    Remington 750 Autoloader

    Hey everyone, been thinking of replacing my Rem 760 and Model 6 both in 30 06 with a 750. Nothing wrong with them except I'm beginning to think a 308 might be better suited to my deer hunting here in MN and am researching for a replacement. 250 yards is probably the longest distance I can shoot...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote air vs oven

    Re: Cerakote air vs oven A little off topic and I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm working on a new bolt rifle and was thinking of Cerakoting it (done by professional). It's a 700 300 WM 5r with SS barrel. Does Cerakoting done right devalue the the gun? Thanks

    Re: O index muzzle break barrel threading? Thanks guys, i'll pass on jonaddis84's calculation to him and see what he says. He already told me that if he can't do it right the first time he won't do it at all. Question on the formula jonaddis84, you mention if it's 76 degrees from being...
