I usually stick with heavier grain bullets; they seem to stabilize better for me. Still, I’m curious about lighter options for better velocity.

I would agree! But does it really stack up against similar models in its class?

I’ve shot against some .338 Lapuas that had the edge in extreme ranges, but the T-5000 still holds its own for most practical applications.

It’s like a race between snipers! Is the T-5000 a dark horse or just riding the waves? :joy:

That’s interesting. I’ve always considered the .308 a solid choice!

Don’t underestimate the .308! Depending on the conditions, it can still be very effective—especially with quality optics.

I’ve found that the T-5000 can be forgiving with scope setups, which is a plus for new shooters. I felt overwhelmed at first!

That’s good to know, @guzmancurtis. Any specific setups you recommend for better performance?

I think it all comes down to personal preference. But, for me, a good bipod makes a significant difference!
