[QUOTE="TC338, post: 2997223, member: 92112"] My main hunting rifle is a Howa 1500. Started life as a 308 and I hunted with it for 10 years, shooting deer out to 500 yards with it. Hand loads got it down to sub 1/2 MOA but the throat was very long so my loads at 20 thou off the lands would not fit in the magazine, had to single load. I had it rebuilt a few years ago using the WTO switchlug and a bartlein barrel chambered in 6.5 creed. Installed a Timney trigger and bedded into a manners stock. Shoots right at 1/4-3/8 MOA using factory precision hunter. My hope was to build a switch barrel set up with barrels and bolts for .223, 6.5 creed, and 7SS, but getting the other bolt faces has turned into an exercise in futility. So I’m currently working on having.308, 6 creed, and 22 creed barrels cut for it. [ATTACH type="full"]529579[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
