Thread: Kiwi made Howa mini ultralight chassis a reality?

Thanks guys! That helps heaps. Had a go with the TB and some 50gn ZMAX my bro in law gave me. Got yellow tips so I can tell them apart from the 40gn super loads I'll eventually load.

50gn Zmax with Trailboss - 222REM 10.5" 1:14 barrel of some sort
4.0gn - 1145fps
3.7gn - 1125fps
3.2gn - 970fps - repeated with 3x more to get a group 973, 997, 969.



Looks like they are going through sideways. Shot at 50m, the small squares are 1moa at 50. Was pretty gusty. Maybe 10.5" is too short to get some good stabilisation. I'll load a few more at 3.3gn for some extra speed and extra rpm. Shouldn't clip the suppressor hopefully.

I have counter intuitively mounted an SIII 6-24 on counter intuitive super high rings which makes Wingman go into fetal position. Can't shoot what you can't see haha. I have the same mount on the thermal, no POI shift when I switch them over.

Don't paint your shooting bench white unless you like snow blindness btw. I drilled and tapped the side of the butt for a QD sling socket and stuck one on the left side of the fore end. Seems to sit pretty stable when slung over the front or back, even with the huge scope. Need to hit it with a bit more paint, it's wearing off in a few spots but I kinda like the worn look.
