Howa bullet

[JohnCushman]

I just bit the bullet on a Howa 1500 in 30-06. My Ruger American shot 165 grain bullets better than anything else. I was thinking of going with 165 grain in the Nosler Trophy Grade bullets (I don't reload) with AccuBonds. What do you guys think?

Nosler factory loads have shot great in everything I have tried them in.

Give it a try Cush, if it's accurate in your rifle that should serve you well on about anything. I got a new Howa too and am itching to break it in.

Let us know how it works out.

Keep an eye out on Nosler blemished ammo...sometimes it's cheaper than the Blue Box Federal stuff.

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

If the ABs don't shoot give the ETips a try too.

They are the cat's meow in my Rem 700 -06 on everything I've used them on John.
Started using them when they 1st came out and nothing else hunting since.
Nice choice on new rifle.Been tempted to get a back up -06 for years now,that was in top of list group. Someday.

Fusions first? mtmuley

I think it's a good choice John. I really like Accubonds.

 

[Gunner46]

All the way with the Accubonds, as long as they shoot well for you. But I beg to ask... why an '06 when you already have a score with your 308 & 165's ?

 

[Washington Hunter]

165 grain Accubonds- perfect. As long as they shoot good in your rifle.

 

[Big Slick]

165 in every 30 cal gun I've ever owned, can't go wrong.

I don't have a .308, my wife does and shoots 150's with it. I just like 30-06's as an all around workhorse.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Everyone is talking about how great the Noslers shoot out of the Howas, so I thought I'd give them a try and support a sponsor.

 

[mtmuley]

I can tell you the Accubond is one Hell of a bullet. mtmuley

 

[sbhooper]

You are definitely on the right track, John. The '06 generally isn't picky, anyway, so I don't think that you can lose with that.

Buying a handloading setup will make all your rifles more interesting...

Used to buy Nosler Trophy on sale for the brass....they first fired small groups. Good product.

Bought my son a Howa 1500 30-06 for Christmas. Think I'm more excited to shoot it then he will be.

John I've been wanting to try those bullets myself. If I come down to the valley this week you should give me 5 to try out so I don't have to buy a whole box. I'll buy you the 3 for $3 roller items at Loaf-n-Jug, what say you?

Just because I'm fat doesn't mean you can bribe me with food
