New guy with first Grendel on the way, a Howa Mini Action from Brownell's. I'll be dropping it in a Boyd's Classic stock for now, just to make it shootable, but will most likely make some pillars and bed it next winter. Did the same with a Pro Varmint and a Savage 12 FV in .223, came out pretty good, and is a pretty consistent sub-MOA shooter.
Anyway, I set the Savage up as a singe shot, so that I wasn't limited by mag length restrictions, but was wondering what max length is in the Howa both from the mag, as well as single loaded. Haven't completely made up my mind what the Grendel is going to be, hunter or target, so my initial shooting will just be to get a feel for the caliber and its capabilities. I tend to be pretty recoil sensitive, anything heavier than a .223 is unpleasant for me, so this will also be a chance to decide if I need a brake, and if so, which one.
So, not looking for load data at the moment, plenty of info in my load manuals and online, just looking for max length, both from the mag and single loaded. Will certainly be more later, thanks!
