Welcome to the 'Fire, and congrats on a fine new rifle. I have never owned a Howa, but I'm going to try one some day. I continue to hear good things.
I'll second the Fusion quality - this is fantastic factory ammo - I've never had it fail to shoot accurately, and use it in 243, 25-06, 270 Win, 300 WSM, 7-08 - it is submoa in Remingtons, Tikkas, Winchesters and Kimbers for me in these cartridges.
One other note on the Howas - along with the good things I hear elsewhere, Steelhead is building lots of his rifles on Howas, and he has a rifle or two and has burned some powder playing and hunting, and hasn't babied them (understatement...grin) - I believe he's pretty sold on them, and that's a pretty good recommendation in my book.
