Hello all. I just got back from my first range trip with my new Howa 1500 in .308. Shooting 150 grain Core Lokts I sighted it in at 100 yards in 4 shots. I was able to put 2 shots within .75 and another shot 3" left of that shot. Moving out to 200 yards my first two were within 2" of each other with one about 5" left. I attribute the flyers to my lack of skill. The wind was kicking up too. All in all I think it was a successful trip. Recoil felt like my grandfathers 35 remington without a recoil pad, not bad at all. I plan on breaking in the barrel more and running through the 20 rounds of remington I have left. Perhaps try Fusions or another brand when I increase my skill.
