Let’s See Your Howa 10 Round Groups

[General RE LEE]

Let’s see your Howa 10 round groups. I’m a fan of the Japanese barreled action and the HACT 2 stage trigger.

I’ll go first

Howa Mini with Muellerworks 22” barrel chambered in 6 ARC. 108 ELDM hand loads with Varget.

Give me a few days and I'll get my 223AI out, although I think I only have factory Hornady 55SP with me that I was planning on fire forming.

Awesome. Dont get me wrong, I’m an OG Tikka fan going back to 2010, but Howas can be sweet rifles.

Sometime in the next few weeks I'll load up some more .223AI with 75ELDMs and pick a good day.
I'm saving my current loaded ammo for hunting in the next few weeks.

TAC is good powder. It was Staball Match before there was a Staball Match lol

Here are a couple from the first range outings with my Howa 6arc after building it, and the rifle as it is now. These groups were from prone over my pack with a rear bag.

I think I can probably tighten those groups up now that I'm more familiar with the rifle, but I haven't shot a 10rd group since spring, mostly range and position practice before and during hunting season. I'll need to get out to the range again now that the season is over.
