one of the most versatile cartridges ever made... Good for you!
Now you need to find a longer range to shoot it on

Thanks!
JP, I think you may have seen it before

Shot 180gr Federal today, followed by 150gr, and surprisingly the 150gr was more accurate. Probably just me getting used to it though.

That rifle is dead sexy and looks very familiar!! Spiff, that scope should be really familiar. Ballistic calculators come in handy and once you zero the scope at your desired range.
"You will also like the resettable, low profile, windage and elevation Target Knobs (with dust covers). Hawke is famous for the "repeatability" of their scope settings... So these target knobs can actually be used to "dial-in" and then dial back to your original zero"

Every barrel is different, but overall, the 165-168 grain bullets are typically the most accurate in the 06.
Nice buy!

Very nice indeed!
I wouldn't part with my Howa for anything. It's an awesome rifle.

Oh really? Just the typical sweetspot? Good to know. I'll be practicing with 150gr I think just to get the feel of the rifle for a while. Then I'll move up to 180gr when I feel comfortable.
Side note: This was a bowl full of sand at 100 yards. Had to improvise since there were no formal targets. Used to be a full bowl. 1 shot decimated it. I think I'm in love haha
