Took my Stainless Howa Mini to the 50m range yesterday to run the barrel in and test 1 handload with a 161gr Mono. Extra barrel length bumped up speeds which is a good sign for those wanting to use Supersonic loads for hunting. Top speed for the 161gr was 2386fps, 2180fps for the 175gr HPBT. 10 shot group at 50m with the 175gr Hornady Black ammo.
