    Troubleshooting Seekins Havak Element FTF issue

    Any follow up on this? I have a Seekins element rifle in 6.5 PRC that I originally bought to take on a Dall sheep hunt. Because of the FTF issues, I ended up taking a different gun. I had the issue with original barrel, and also had a second barrel chambered in 25sst, which has had the same...

    I had a custom reamer made for my 25-06. I am shooting the 131gr blackjack bullets with Retumbo powder. I am getting close to 3200 ft./s with no pressure signs. Very accurate load. 1/2 MOA out to 900 yards. 26” 7.5 twist rock creek barrel.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I recently converted a Tikka T3 300 WM to a 6.5 PRC with a Proof CF prefit, Mesa precision stock. I’ve been really happy. I am ambidextrous, but shoot a rifle left handed. I would love to find a LH T3 or T3X action with standard boltface if anyone has one. They seem to be unobtainium.

    257 Blackjack

    I have also been very impressed with 25 Creedmoor. It has the velocity of the 6cm, but shoots flatter and kills better than the 6.5 imho.

    6.5-06 RETUMBO/150 SMK VELOCITY LOAD DATA TEST

    Interesting that it keyholed. I have shot Matrix 160's out of an 8.5 twist 6.5 SAUM without any stability issues. I am at 750 feet elevation (Texas). I would be curious to see what N570 would do. I have a 28" Krieger 7.5 twist in 264 WM and am looking to do some testing soon, have gotten...

    25 Creedmoor

    I think PVA will do a savage/remage prefit or a barrel for Nucleus, bighorn, mausingfield, rpr

    Any Mack Brothers EVO titanium action reviews or feedback?

    Are any of these being produced. Considering a titanium action build. I think Impact is working on a titanium action, so it's Impact, Mack Bros, or Lone Peak.
