Howa 1500 7 PRC Build

Took a little work to get it to go together. Poor little Woox wasn't ready for the girth. Sometimes you just gotta make it work. 😁

Roughly sighted in at 50. I'll make it up to the 100yrd range at some point soon.
Velocities were as expected. All over the place depending on what box of ammo you grab. That's the real issue there. Not low velocities, inconsistent velocities depending on the box/brand you grab.
She is extremely well behaved. Doesn't try to torque out of your hands and is flat as can be. No jumping around, no nothing. Just straight back.
I have a video I'll edit down and post here after awhile

Such a nice looking rifle. Top notch work on that bag rider.

Do you plan on loading for it?
Thank you sir.
I do plan on loading for it. I have Hornady 180's, Berger 190's, ADG brass, CCI 250's, some Retumbo, H1000, and H4831SC. I'll pick up a couple pounds of N570 at some point to try. I also wanna try the Berger 184's.
Plan is to find a moderate load to get the barrel a couple hundred rounds thru it and once fire the brass. From there, find something it really likes.

Good plan. Similar to mine.
