I have a Howa mini action with the std 22” barrel. Shoots ok, but the factory plastic stock is the weak link as far as accuracy is concerned.
I’m currently using 120gr nosler ballistic tips with 8208xbr for a hunting load (just under 1moa) and 123gr nosler hunt with 8208xbr for target/plinking.
My father has the same rifle as well and he’s been shooting 100 and 120gr Barnes tsx’s with similar results.
There both set up for the close range bush deer we hunt (typically less than 100yard shots) however despite our best efforts weren’t able to harvest anything this year so I can’t comment on terminal performance.
