    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...

    25-06 131 gr blackjack

    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.

    I am getting 3160 with Retumbo in a custom 25-06 reamer to allow me to seat them appropriately. Shot a 4 inch group at 900 yards with mine. I also have a 25 SST. I shot a cow elk at 665 yards this year. DRT, didn’t take a step. I have been very impressed with accuracy and bullet performance...

    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...

    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.

    Where do I begin.

    When I first found this page (~2005 I think), I read and read these forums and took as much info as I could in. I then bought a used GAP 308 in an AICS chassis. Great rifle. There are so many options these days, it's crazy. I would do a 6.5 CM to start with the precision rifle your budget...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Sorry I missed this previously. I am getting just under 3K fps with 143 ELD-X and 2930 with 147 ELD-M. That being said, it is a new barrel and 24". I have a 26" 6.5 SAUM that I can get ~3050fps with 147 ELD-M and that is a close to max handload. If you reload, you can obviously get more out...
