Howa 1500 mini action 6.5 Grendel

[Long-Range-Air]

A friend just bought a .223 mini action and it's shooting .7 MOA at 100 yards. Very accurate. I have just ordered one in .204 Ruger with the Kryptek Hogue stock. Excited.

My RWS Sporter .243 (Howa made iirc), totally standard, was sub MOA, tested at 100m with factory ammo. Never found a need to modify it and would have only hand load for cost saving reasons.

I followed the Howa barrel break-in process to the letter on my .223 being a 1:12 twist it loves the high speed Hornady 40g pills.

It will group to half inch at 100yds

But, being a sporter barrel, I don’t fire more that 3 shots in succession as it gets quite hot, so no good for “target shooting”
