[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 401513, member: 20409"] well I will have to even add to this.my 5R even liked the load with 47.5gn of R17 and the 208gn A-max.48gn gave me to flat of a primer so went with the 47.5gn. shoot the load at 300 a few weeks ago and found that the bullet dropped 11 inches from a 100 yard zero.so went up 15 clicks and it went dead on.haven't ye found out how fast they are flying ( I have no chrony yet)but will say the 168-175gn loads are out for my hunt'n loads.will only use the 168-175gn bullets for papper shooting. so those who have a 5R can now see what the 208gn A-max will do.even if you do not want to try R17 you can try Varget.I think the same guy is useing 43gn of Varget,but do not hold me to this one.will have to go and look a the forum to make sure.but can add that he is getting really great results with Varget also.but with some loose in FPS I think hes getting 2400 -2500 FPS. just gotta lve the 208gn A-max out of a 308,John [/QUOTE]
