Seekins Havok Element 6.5 PRC

[Adzeit]

I have been getting inconsistent groups shooting Horniday 143 eldx factory loads. Out of 4 boxes all the same lot number. Box One and Two shoot 1/2” to 3-4” groups.
Box three and Four shoot 1” to 1.5” groups. Could it be the Ammo or the Rifle? The rifle is fresh broke in.

If it helps you any I just got an Element in 6.5 prc and so far I am getting about the same results with Hornady elx. I am going to shoot up what I have and start reloading when I can get the dies I want.

Have you found anything that your gun loves yet?

I sent my rifle back to Seekins and they put a new barrel on it, they sent it back with a 1/2 group shot with federal ammo. I grabbed a box of 143 ELDX bullets that we’re not grouping in the other barrel and it shot a 1/2” group. The load I settled on only because It’s the only components I could find at the time of development is 58 grains of H-4831sc and 140 grain Berger hHunting VLD
And it shoots 1/2” to 3/4” groups consistently.
We killed a Buck at 450 yards and one at 1220 yards with the rifle in Idaho this year.
The group just right of center is 3 shots at 450 and 3 shots at 600 yards

Very nice, thanks for the information. I am glad that it is shooting well for you now.
