Really nice looking rifle. Have always liked the .308 Win.
Are you hand loading for it are shooting factory ammo.

Thanks
Going to be Hand loading, Started with some factory loads, and order additional 100 of new Brass,have about 100 cases ready for loading + plus new cases.
Starting with 168 gr Sierra HPBT match...43.2 Varget and CCI primers.. I'll try different Powders, IMR 4895 and 4064....I'll load 20 each of the different powders.
Until I fine the right amount and powder for this gun.
Will be shooting for now 100-600 yards, like to be able to hear the metal ring at 1000,but that's for another dy.
I'm usually loading .223 and 22-250's for Squirrelgun). This will be a change for me.
It shoots like a tac-Driver, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it...

The 5Rs and Senderos are impressive rifles. I always feel like I have a nice custom in my hands when I am handling them. Beautiful rifle!

Sounds like you have some good components to start out with. The .308 is pretty easy to load for. When you get her dialed in post some pics up of your groups. I would like to see how she shoots. Good luck on your reloading and be safe.
