Just finished a 500 yard cold bore match with my Howa mini in 6.5 Grendel. Hadn’t shot it in a year, but finished not so bad. Hole is circled. Target is 5 inch diameter.
Agree, replace the bottom plastic metal with real metal to created some rigidity in bedding area. I also replaced stock...
I shoot a couple of strange calibers in my rifles, so early on, I was REAL concerned about brass. But you know what? Years later I’m still working with the original hundred rounds of brass. Really. Pick ‘em up and re-stuff your brass. Given that rounds fired from a “brass chucker “ in the field...
I love my Howa mini in 6,5 Grendel. I have it in a laminated stock and also an Onyx chassis depending on whether I’m hunting or target shooting. I replaced the trigger with a Jard, which is pretty amazing. And on the laminated wood stock, I replaced the cheap plastic bottom “metal” with real...
True. I see that now. My QD adapters are on several barrels and that particular can transfers with no perceived change in POI with each rifle once zeroed with can. Can’t say as to direct thread cans. I presume it all has to do with the symmetry of weight distribution of the can as it affects...
My experience: yes, the can shifts POI on every gun. However once you learn how much better you and your rifle shoot with a can, shooting the same gun without is just dumb. So, around here, the can goes on and stays on.
I have there chassis rifles now. They’re for competition. When hunting season rolls around, one of those actions will go back into its custom laminated wood stock.
There is nothing colder and less appealing that an aluminum chassis on a cold morning sit in a stand. Give me a nice wood stock any...
It’s been too many years since I worked research stats, but I wonder if your N was big enough to support the test procedure. Maybe should be using small number statistics?
I started with a Lee loader and 300 rounds of .38 special brass which I reloaded on Friday night and shot on Saturday EVERY WEEK. Pretty soon, I got pretty good with that revolver.
50 years later, I still like Lee precision presses and dies. For precision rifle match ammunition I use more...
