BTW....there is one big problem with a Zeiss Duralyt, well perhaps the one I helped sight in for a friend....Bloody 1/3 MOA adjustments...just couldn't get it on centre so had to change the mounts to something that was windage adjustable... Nice optics like most Zeiss. Now if they stayed with 1/4 MOA or even better 1/8 MOA I'd have one tomorrow.
To the topic......
So, "chrispy88" was silly enough to let me play with his Howa after the blown ammo story. Don't know if the S&B Ammo is any good in other rifles but this lot has been pulled apart and dumped. Kept cases and bullets just in case.
I said I would try and give him something better and more reliable in the way of ammo. The Federal Factory wasn't too bad and much better than the S&B rubbish so the task started as I have mentioned.
Finally got some reasonable weather and fired the first initial test loads of home made ammo.
Who said Howa's could shoot.....!!!!!!
Bloody cheap Howa...

Take a guess at a powder, bullet and primer and the best I could manage battling with a strange trigger was in the first test run a 0.323" group....100 metres, target squares are 1" and rings are 2" in the old measurements for this fella.
I suppose that will have to do for a starting point on one of the loads to fine tune....
