Been chasing MOA groups with my Howa Mini in 223. The load my Savage shoots into almost .5MOA gives 2" groups in the Howa
Tried 2 powders and 4 bullets, found a few combos that gave "acceptable" 1.5" or a bit smaller groups (not bad for a light slorter with a 10x scope) but I just couldnt get it to break that magical 1MOA barrier
Noticed in all of my testing that the loads at or just below published start levels were the most accurate.
Dropped down to 17.8gr of N-120 under a 55gr Spitzer soft ooint (published start is 18.0 with a max of 20.2) and hit pay dirt
Now if @Ninering62 woild stop shooting his chronograph ...
