Yonic Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Well. Yesterday I helped out on the range day for the BDS DSC1 course and got to have a play afterwards, The below are 2 groups I shot at 100m with the .223, I was using Sako 50grn rounds and shooting with the Howa 1500 which is in my aviator. The group with my thumb in is a five shot group and a slight shame the one was a little out of out , the second is a 3 shot group and to give you an idea of scale the white patch that the shots are amongst are 22mm across, this group as far as I can work out is about 1/2 an inch. So if anybody out where wants to know how well the Howa will shot with factory loads here you go. 2 of the best groups I've ever shot.

Frank Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Good grouping. Accurate round the .223.. Even in CZ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 All you need to do is to get your home loads more accurate than that and you are laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonic Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I was thinking about that on the way home form the range. Just wondering if it was possible to get much of an improvement!! Hopefully I can get a load sorted that matches what it was achieving with the sako's though and with a bit of luck and practice it may work out a little cheaper. The 6.5 wasn't quite as tight a group but just over and inch so still pretty good, Hopefully that is where I could get some saving though as 6.5 rounds aren't the cheapest..

Don't bank on it I would leave well alone, but all the relaoders will tell you otherwise . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunk Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Looks good Jon. I`ve got a Howa to collect when my variation is returned. The factory guarantees 1 1/2" at 100. Your results are an improvement over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
