[QUOTE="Idaho5r, post: 1107766, member: 37191"] I have to agree with others on here. My 5R-308 hasn't ever had any factory rounds through it, as I handload for all my rifles. But, if I were to shoot factory loads, I'd start with reputable factory "Match-Type" ammo to try to find some sort of realistic accuracy base line. As stated, I load my own, & I know it feels very satisfying shooting that "One-Hole-Group" with ammo you've constructed yourself!!! The Remington 5R rifles seem to have a good reputation for being accurate factory guns. And, I agree with those who say that. For the record, I've had good success with 175 Nosler Custom Comp bullets & Varget powder, but, there are numerous bullet, & powder combos that should serve you well, when you begin to reload your own. I will say, before starting to reload, read as much as you can, & do your homework! Good Luck with the 5R. Idaho5R [/QUOTE]
