Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

[The Guide]

Wow, excellent write up! So no bedding in the B&c, just drop in a shoot? I like the sound of that!

That has been my experience but I've only had 6 of them (2 Winchester M70, 2 Howa Mini Actions, 1 Howa 1500 LA, and 1 Ruger American) and they all fit well.

6arc.

Because? Because why not?

Would be more fun yo explain to someone after you shoot a elk with a 6arc what it is.

Anyone try reloading the 62 eldvt out of the 22 ARC mini. I’m helping a buddy load for his new Howa mini and we cannot get that bullet to shoot. Tried factory v-match ammo. Tried loading in alpha brass with CFE 223, leverrevolution, H335, and AA2230. Velocities from 3200fps to 3600fps. Has anyone got this bullet to shoot out of the Howa mini?

I bought the 50 pack of loaded ammo. Shot it to sight in the rifle and did a 5 round group. Howa Mini Action 22" barrel was 3210 over 7 shots with around a 2" group. Groups were worse with the 75 ELDM. The 80 ELDX and 88 ELDM were better and sub MOA. Did a ten shot with the 88 on the latest lot of ammo and most of the shoots went through the same hole but gave me 1.2" group. I may revisit the 62 grain load now that the barrel is settled in but that bullet wasn't an automatic thumbs up from my rifle.
