    Remington 5R .223 Ammo

    Re: Remington 5R .223 Ammo Alpine 338 This has been my experience with the 77 gr. SMK, i.e., just on the borderline of stability. Unfortunately my 5R doesn't like the 69 gr. SMK and likes the Berger 70 gr. VLD only marginally well (about one inch groups). Of late I seem to be getting it...

    Rifle Scopes Any reason not to upgrade Leupold 10X to SS 5-20

    Re: Any reason not to upgrade Leupold 10X to SS 5-20 I hesitate to recommend anyone get rid of their old fixed power Leupolds whether 7.5X, 10X, or 12X. Optically they're super performers.

    Remington 5R .223 Ammo

    Re: Remington 5R .223 Ammo I've been trying lighter bullets in my 1-9 twist barrel. The 52s and 55s all want to shoot better than their 69 and 70 gr. brethern. Beats me what's going on. Group uniformity is also better with the lighter bullets.
