Howa Model 1500 22-250

Should be very accurate, might have to reload to reach best accuracy, but should shoot different weight bullets to tell which she likes the best.
 
I have nothing but good things to say about Howa, we have several and am in the process of building a new one with a howa LA. They have been a great rifle for us. HAPPY HUNTING
 

I have a 22-250 SS/synthetic heavy barrel(varmint). I
developed hand loads with VV N140(near max), pushing a
50 gr. Vmax. that shoot groups averaging around .5 MOA, with
this rifle. It has shot some .2s and even a .16, when the moon
and stars aligned. The only thing I did was work the trigger
down to a 1 lb pull, with just a hint of travel.

I won this rifle at a DU banquet

I also won a Howa 1500 Sporter in 300 WSM. It is a pretty
decent shooter, too. I have a Barnes 165 gr. XLC load that
regularly goes sub-MOA. Plenty good for elk and deer. It hurts
a little more to shoot than the 22-250

I own two in 22-250, both VERY accurate, but I did put a Boyds stock and a Timney Trigger on the heavy barreled one, i think it might be more accuratre than my Remington 700 VSF in .204!
 
I have a buddy with one. His favoite pass time is craking open walnuts at 100 yds with it all day. I was going to get one in the kings desert shadw, but the scopes offered with it are junk. So i went with the Model Seven Predator. Howas are great rifles though.

PS A weatherby Vangaurd and Winchester Model 70's use howa barreled actions.
 
I had the same gun. It shot Win white box 45 gr HP's all day long. I don't reload and tried all kinds of rounds but the 45gr hps shot the best. Traded it in on a 1500 in .243 this past winter. Needed a little more gun to buck the wind here in S.D.
