So I bought a 5R in .308. I read the tacked threads in the reloading forum here and those are really awesome. I had heard of some of those methods and was going to implement them into my reloading routine. Then I asked around on other boards and other shooters and was told that with a factory Remy barrel and a not trued action, plus being a noob that I would not be able to tell the difference and should just shoot it and worry about fine tuning the load when I have more experience. Just to cover all bases, what say ye??

When I got my LTR I shot factory hunting ammo in it for a while an was not impressed. I started working up a load and found one that really drives tacks. I'd definitely start shooting with whatever you have but there is no harm in starting to work up a load. You can always squeeze a noticable amount of accuracy out of your rifle with custom handloads over factory ammo.
