[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1263871, member: 12193"] That 5R in .260 would be looking pretty sweet to me for shooting targets out to 500. I would shoot 120-129 grain bullets for that kind of distance, which will kick noticeably less than the 140-143 grainers. Between me and my buddies we have 4 5Rs and one Sendero. They all shoot great, but I've noticed the heavier chamberings benefit more from bedding. The .308s seem to do pretty well with just a trigger upgrade and I assume it would be the same for the .260. We had no problem getting the .308s to shoot 3/4 moa with factory ammo and I'm sure we could do quite a bit better with handloads. The .300 mags tended to group closer to 1 moa out of the box, and now they're shooting 1/2 to 3/4 moa after bedding. This is with minimal load development. [/QUOTE]
