I've had mixed results with howa, sometimes good, sometimes no so much.
Latest example is my howa Blk won't ignite the #41 primers, factory stuff yes, and 450's yes, but #41's -- too many non-fires.
I think my howa grendel has the same problem, mostly I use 450's or the Fed 205's but have couple of bricks of 41's also.
I don't want finicky rifles.
I might sell the howa 300 blk, I have a new cmmg barrel in AR and it's working out great so far.
I've been using my frankford digital caliper for, what, 5-6 years now - bought from Amazon, $25 bucks I think or so.
I have a manual backup for when the end-times power gets shut off (lol!!!) but have a bunch of little batteries, but for this long it's been workng great.
My "frankie" quality wise has ben fine, nothing to complain about.
Has the honored place on my bench.
I know it's not cost efficient but I am keeping an eye out for another CZ527. Given what's out there I may pickup another one just in case. They are no longer made so who knows, they do seem to have a following .
I took a look at the uintah looks like a really nice setup but I am more at home with a classic rifle stock for my use
