Howa Mini Action 6.5 Grendel Accuracy

[klipsh]

Just trying to get a general consensus on the factory barrel performance. I own a Howa chambered in 6.5 Grendel (non threaded barrel / HTI factory stock version )and have been some what disappointed with the shot group. I think have tried just about every factory load I can get my hands on and the best it does is 1.5” @ 100 yards. Does this seem normal for this rifle ?

I have the Howa Mini in 6.5 Grendel. I put (bedded) her into a Boyd's AT1 stock, and with a little more attention to the fundamentals than I have to do with my Tikka (creedmoor), I was able to get under 1/2 MOA. I just relocated the barreled action into an MDT LSS chassis and am hoping to see a little improvement, or at least more consistent tight-groupings.

This is using the Hornady Black Match ammo

My barrel is the threaded Heavy barrel, fyi.
