Hey Bigpete turns out the Talley distributor had the new Talley rings in stock so my set should be in next week
So I put a bit more effort over the weekend into tuning a nice hunting load with the cheap Speer 165gr Hot Cor's, started by using the same loads I used with the 185gr mega's and then I bumped it up another gr or so, still no signs of pressure anywhere ( top speed was a nice 2785fps).
Found a nice accuracy node at 47.2gr with 3 bullets going 2688, 2687, 2687fps. With a spread of only 1fps I knew I was onto a good thing. Confirmation once I unstrapped the Magneto speed, not only does the Howa make a very fast barrel but tonnes of accuracy for a such a light profile.
