Thread: Howa Mini 338 ARC

Just a quick thread on Howa Mini action build, rifle was a new Stainless Howa Mini 223 20inch Varmint bought back at the beginning of year. I had original planned to build a 22 ARC this year and placed an order for the 338 ARC brass and dies when it was announced. Reloading stuff turned up sooner than expected so a barrel and a PTG reamer was order.

22inch 1:7 twist stainless barrel M14x1 thread, bolt face opened up to handle the larger rim and standard 223 extractor massaged however I have order 2 Grendel extractors for future use.

307gr Subsonics, 175gr HPBT and 161gr OEP all feed like butter

Picking up 2 new Howa mini ARC's last week from the Gunsmith
