[QUOTE="CA30-06, post: 1057899, member: 79682"] I just picked up my first long range rifle. A rem 700 5r in 308. I get it in about 2 weeks and was wanting to ask the more experienced if any one had a good starting point for this rifle. I have been rolling my own for a while now just never the 308. Plenty of '06, 30-30, 300savage, and a bunch of pistol calibers but this is my first 308 and everything I read before making the 5r decision was that with the right loads, the rifle will out shoot the user.I know each rifle is going to like a little different mix, just looking for a tried and true starting point. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I have read a lot about break in procedures. Everything from the extreme to the "nothing just go shoot it ". I would think there is something needed as this is a new rifle but I was hoping there is a happy and managble middle road. Also, can the break in be done with run of the mill ammo or should it be the same loads or hand loads that will regularly be fired? Again, thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. They are very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
