Bob from Missouri

[Bob Roach]

I am looking at trading my Ruger American 7.62x39 for a Howa 1500 Mini in 6.5 Grendel. My Semi-Local (50 Miles away) dealer has two in stock. At the moment I have a Howa 1500 Mini in 7.62x39 that I like pretty well. Two Howa 1500's would not be a bad thing.

I have been a Reloader and Wildcatter for years. I have owned several Contenders and Encores over the years that I pretty much had to work up load data for from scratch. I like projects to work with. I believe the Howa 1500 in 6.5 Grendel would make a good project gun.

Welcome to the clan, BRM, from the great nation of Texas! You will like the Howa in Grendel. It is a delightful shooter. What are your end goals?

I am not a newby to the 6.5.
I have owned a 6.5x30JDJ Contender Barrel for 30 some years. I also have a Nosler M48 (New & Improved Version of an XP100) in 6.5 Creedmoor. I have been shooting 120 ELD-M bullets through it.

Welcome aboard. That M48 sounds like a hoot.

Do you shoot silhouette matches?
