I’ve done the 20, 224, 243, and 6.5 on the Howa Mini. Makes a great little package with any one of them. The 22 Grendel is closer to the BR in capacity than the PPC as it’s shoulder is pushed forward.070” over the PPC. Data lies somewhere in between the two. I’ve only shot the 50TSX and 53 Vmax in the 224 and it was at 3500fps for both. Killed one hog in TX at 190yards with the TSX and one 120lb doe at about the same distance. Did a great job with both. I don’t personally need heavies in it for a light walk about rifle and choose PBR and easy holdovers for coyotes n deer.

Great youth rifle too.


Shoot straight, shoot often
