    Howa 300 Win issues

    Update: Howa’s customer service has been outstanding. Gunsmith called me last week. He did notice a ruff chamber and polished it out. He also checked headspace and lug contact which tested out good to go. They are going to shoot it in the next two weeks to check accuracy with multiple...

    Howa 300 Win issues

    Thank you everyone for the help. I talk to howa and they told me to purchase a specific horandy load. Went to the range with said load and it shot 2) 2" groups and stuck a case in the chamber on the last round. I called them back and they were very helpful starting the warranty process. I'll...

    Howa 300 Win issues

    If it shot them like that, I would buy a case and be done....I'm spoiled with my other rifles that shoot 3/4 MOA all day long.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I think I am going to reach out to Howa tomorrow and see if they will check it out. If nothing else maybe when they verify the Sub Moa guarantee, they can tell me what factory ammo they used. I have heard their customer service is really good.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    Yeah, I pulled and retorqued the action, the scope doesn’t seem to be the issue because the factory loads are shooting the same consistent group from start to now. Haven’t tried a new die set but that’s an option. I was hoping someone on here had a Howa 300 and could give me some direction.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    You would think so but I don’t just load for this rifle......yet this is the only one I can’t get to shoot.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I actually started with new brass then went back and checked all the loads again with once fired brass....I don’t mean to keep shooting down your suggestions, I do appreciate you trying to address my problems. When I tell you this thing is frustrating....I have been trouble shooting one issue...

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I was doubting myself with this as well but I worked up a load for a new rem 700 and it shot lights out and super consistent. Also, reloaded for an existing rifle and it to shot the same as previous loads.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I agree, I just have never had a rifle shoot this poorly with so many loads. I am not opposed to shoot factory but I would like it to shoot sub Moa. I was hoping someone on here might have had a similar experience with a Howa 300.....that could point me in a direction.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I tried factory 3.43, 3.5, and mag length. I can’t measure from the lands but I figured I would see some difference. Even ran a velocity ladder and found a node. It sprayed them too.

    Howa 300 Win issues

    I tried the route too.....it doesn’t seem to change whether clean or dirty. Even tried no fouling shot and a fouling shot. Also tried waiting 30 min between groups. It has been a frustrating

    Howa 300 Win issues

    It is a 1:10 twist so it should stabilize those bullets. I have tried three different seating depts....two different powders H4831 and H1000. The puzzling thing is that the groups are not consistent. The same load with shoot a1.5” group then shoot a 3” group. I thought maybe I had a scope...

    Howa 300 Win issues

    Good morning, I was hoping someone can help me work through an issue. I purchased a Howa semi heavy barreled action this summer and had it professionally bedded in to a BC stock. I broke the barrel in slowly and was able to get 1.25” groups with cheap 180 grain power points. I was thinking...
