Rifle Specs: Howa M-1500 .308, 22" sporter barrel, Pillar bedded Hogue stock, Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC, Eagle cheek piece.
Today, despite the weather, I made it to the range, in wet 40 degree windy conditions I managed these not so fancy groups, and had fun doing so..
Load data: 168 grain Sierra Matchking, 40.0 grains Varget, CCI #200 Large rifle primer, Federal Case, full length sized only, no neck size this set.
All groups are 5 shots, no called flyers.

I had a good time, and got home, I pulled my Howa's action out of the stock, to clean out all the moisture, and got it back together no problems, However, after cleaning it, I noticed a rattleing noise, not coming from the bolt, I believe one of my scope base screws may have rattled out, but they were lok-tited, so I may be wrong, I am hoping this is just a stupid loose bolt, because I don't like being mad..
I called Legacy, (howa's distributor) and they sent all their techs to SHOT show..
Frustrating, I will have to wait until I can take this rifle to a gunsmith to figure out the problem, which is probably my fault..
