[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1371862, member: 12995"] 5R rifling is a rifling style that was developed by Boots Obermeyer, and it has been implemented by Remington in the M24 rifles for quite some time. The rifling style has smoother (flatter) edges and an offset land/groove design that creates less pinch on the bullet's jacket, therefore creating less deformation of the jacket, which theoretically will lead to more accuracy. I'm not sure how much of an affect it actually has on accuracy, but I can tell you one thing for sure about 5R rifling...The design of it, allows me to shoot longer strings between cleanings, and it also seems to accumulate less copper than standard rifling. Therefore it cleans up alot faster and easier than other factory bores with standard rifling that I own. Here's a visual of standard rifling vs. 5R rifling...
