Thread: Kiwi made Howa mini ultralight chassis a reality?

It's more about bullet choice and shot placement. A good light jacket match or varmint bullet handloaded to the max your barrel will allow and it will kill just fine. 130gr is a bit on the heavy side for Grendel, stick to the 120gr or lighter in a short barrel. I tend to only head shoot animals these days anyway so with the right shot placement it can be done with a .22lr.
A 120gr match bullet at 2200fps just about takes a goats head clean off.. I have plenty of pics to confirm this but probably not the best place to share them..

Grew a pair of stones and took the leap. 12.5 Grendel for the win. Dave at Shooter Ready has been exceptional. Super easy to deal with so far. I'm fizzing to get this back and out in the boonies for a wander. Just gotta sneak it into the safe without the wife clicking....better to ask forgiveness than permission 😉🤣

Are you still running with 8208 as powder of choice?
