    Howa M1500 .308 accuracy

    Hi People,

    Trying to get good accuracy out of my rig and haven't had the best results as of lately. Am using commercial ammo, doesn't seem to like the 150 grainers all too much. Shooting about 1.5inch to 2 inches (on average) at 100m.

    Was thinking of moving to a heavier bullet, like 168gr Hornady Match? Any recommendations on what other folks here are using would be much appreciated. What sort of accuracy are you getting etc? I find also once the barrel heats up she's all over as for tight groups.

    And does anyone happen to know the twist rate of the SS .308 Howas?

    Regards
    Sas
