20 BR Howa Mini

Took my 20 BR Howa Mini up to the range in the weekend for the first time

I didn't want to use the Lapua 6BR brass I have in stock so reformed a heap of 6, 6.5 & 30 BRX brass I had left over from my sadly missed AR days

It gets along pretty well to be fair with its 20" barrel especially considering its the first firing on the severely manipulated & annealed brass

I will have a fish around with some other powders to see what its potential is before I build a very nice customer rifle

Does it feed from the mag properly or just single shot? My 22BR didn't like to mag feed.

Grendel, I thought I might have to open it up a little but seems to be feeding fine so far as long as its loaded right

1-8 just for fun

Built a 204 for a customer using a 1-8 Muller works, shoots 32s at warp factor 20, projectiles are still holding together well past 1200 rounds :)

With that twist it's a pity you haven't got a stash of 55gr Bergers
