    This little rifle looks like a blast to shoot. For those who own one, what ammo or load have you found it to like? What sort of accuracy are you getting? Any regrets?
     
    Got one the other day. So far have only shot one 10 round group. The 2x4 of a stock had to go. Did a 5 minute epoxy bed to get the barrel centered and stop contact and sent it off to get slimmed way down. It'll be a cool lightweight hunting rifle when finished.

    Hornady ELD-M 123gr Factory went 1.15 MOA at 100 yards for ten rounds.

    I took my howa to the range the other day shoot a few groups all a little under an inch at 100 yards. Shot hornady black 6.5 grendel getting ready to start reloading. I put mine in a boyds pro varmint stock. The 6.5 grendel forum has a bunch of good info about the howa mini actions.
