Just shot my new Howa Mini-Action 6.5 Grendel - MPDS13 - 11-17-2016 A few days ago I picked up my Howa 1500 Mini-Action in 6.5 Grendel 20" heavy barrel from my local gun shop. Today I got to go to the range and put some rounds through it. It shoots really nice and I even got some decent groups with some cheaper PPU ammo. Trigger is surprisingly nice for a factory 2 stage. I am planning on taking it out of the factory stock and making sure the barrel is free floating and probably will bed the action to get some consistency out of it. Below are 2 5 shot groups, definitely the best of the day and actually the last 2 of the day as well.

The PPU ammo has been recalled, in case you didn't hear about it. Just shot my new Howa Mini-Action 6.5 Grendel - MPDS13 - 11-18-2016 Yeah, I am happy with it so far. It is definitely a shooter. No! I didnt hear about the recall. What's wrong with the ammo? why was it recalled? Should I stop shooting it? I have a couple boxes left. Oh, OK I just looked it up. Yeah I will stop shooting it and get it swapped out. Thanks LRRPF52 Just shot my new Howa Mini-Action 6.5 Grendel - kymountainman - 11-21-2016 New member here, and joined the group to find out about this rifle. I found exactly what I have been scathing the net to find out. The Howa Mini is a winner when it comes to paper accuracy. Thanks for the report. Just shot my new Howa Mini-Action 6.5 Grendel - Matt @ LSI - 11-21-2016 nice work! Just shot my new Howa Mini-Action 6.5 Grendel - EvoTac - 11-30-2016 I originally picked up 4 bags of PPU brass when I picked up my Howa. I found out about the recall the next day and contacted them. They got back to me right away and gave me the address to send the brass in. They issued a refund within 2 days . I was really impressed with how fast they took care of it. If you speak to Marta, you're in good hands.
