Howa loads
« on: November 02, 2008, 04:28:02 AM »
What is your experience with accuracy of handloads in Howa's:
Do they like hotter loads or milder charges?
Do they like a little or more freerun or bullets just touching lands?

Mine is a 1500 SS in 30-06
current load: 180 gr. Accubond over 54 gr. VVN160, 0,01" freerun
5 shot groups 1" at 100 metres.

I think you are dialed in.  Unless you want to shoot a smaller bullet, don't change a thing.
