Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

What is your COAL on the 105?

 

[The Guide]

Rifle is back from the gunsmith. I had him bed the Stockys VG and hog out the barrel channel while he had it to ensure complete full float.

I already had done a pressure test a while back, so I loaded up 10 rounds each of the 76 Norma Tipstrike, 100 tipped game king, and the 105 hybrid. Will hopefully test them out this week to see what it likes.

Interested in seeing how the 105 works for you. It is my 6CM's favorite bullet so if the Mini Actions like the bullet and it works good, I'll buy a couple thousand of them.

Do they make factory 10(ish) Howa magazines for 6 ARC?

2.324”. CBTO of 1.727” is .020” off the lands (usually where I start all projectiles assuming the fit in the mag).

I’ll keep you posted. My 6 Creed likes them as well, so hoping the 6 ARC will also.

Not that I’m aware of. Only 10 rounders I’ve seen are for .223.

Edit: looks like MDT used to make one for the 6.5 Grendel, although I can’t find it on their site. Might be worth an email or call to them.
