What kind of groups are you getting with your Howa.223?
Ihave a 1500 that is driving me crazy. A .6 group then
the next group might be 1 3/4 inch. Get this: floated
the barrel, no luck. Glass bedded, no luck. Two trigger
jobs, no luck. Recrown the barrel, no improvement. Took
off the Sightron and put on a Leupold, no luck. Installed
a Timney trigger which gives a superb 30 ounce break, no
improvement. Over 300 rounds of load development and it's
still all over the map. I should'a stuck with Remington.
