    7 PRC

    My best groups had a base-to-ogive of 3.694. Using Hornady's gauge, I measured my lands to be 3.698. Everything with this length has fed and chambered great in my Seekins so far.

    Best 7 PRC Bullet?

    I'm in Idaho, so all of the usual game prospects like deer, elk, antelope, moose, bear, etc.... the range will depend on what I can get locked in for loads and what energy I can yield with any given load. Haven't done all the calculations yet, but one more test run at the range with my couple of...

    7 PRC

    How many grains are you running with H1000? I've only gone up to 65 grains but never broke 2900 with my rifle. My groups were getting worse on the high end, so I've kept it at 64.

    7 PRC

    I've got a 22" barrel as well. Shooting at an elevation of about 3700', at about 50-60* F. 66-68gr of Retumbo with 175gr Bergers is giving me about 2850fps, and 2850fps with 195's. The H1000 at 64gr with 175gr Bergers is only pushing about 2680-2700, and the 195's at 2750fps. Of course, temps...

    7 PRC bullet

    I couldn't get my rifle to group as good with 68 gr H1000 as I did with 64 gr. Probably rifle-specific, but try different loads in that ballpark and see what makes your rifle happy. Consider trying Retumbo as well, 68gr with Berger 175 EH and 195 EOL are performing beautifully with those combos.

    7 PRC

    I've handloaded a couple hundred rounds of various loads for my 7 PRC, Seekins Havak Element. I've finally hit the jackpot with Berger 175 Elite Hunters and 195 EOL's using H1000 and Retumbo. I got better velocities with MagPro and N570, but the SD and groups are consistently 1/4 MOA with H1000...

    Best 7 PRC Bullet?

    I've tried several different powders and bullets with my 7 PRC, and Berger is consistently giving me the best groups. Nosler LR Accubond is probably the next best. StaBall HD didn't do awesome in my rifle, I've had the best SD's and ES's with H1000 and Retumbo. 1/4 MOA groups consistently with...

    Seekins Element-Any experience or Reviews?

    I just picked up a Seekins Element in 7mm PRC. After comparing it to several rifles, including the Fierce CT Rival, I finally landed on the Seekins. This fall will be my first season hunting with it, but so far my range experience and at-home handling is great. The 308 will likely shoot...

    Seekins Havak Element question

    Seekins customer service may be able to help with that. I haven't seen one with it, but potentially something a gunsmith could fab for you.

    New guy from 208

    Hello, everyone. Glad to be here. In recent research for a long range platform, I realized I've been a member of this site since 2009, but have never been a contributor in any way. I live in south central Idaho, hunt the common Idaho big game with rifles, black powder, and archery. I've loved...

    Seekins Element

    Which Leupold (specifically obj size) did you get, and what height rings are you running? Any visibility of the suppressor through the scope? Beautiful rifle!
