[QUOTE="Mrvmax, post: 2293970, member: 114476"] I bought a Seekins Havak in 6.5 PRC, I have a Savage 110 High Country in 6.5 PRC that gets .5 Mao with hand loads. I figured the Seekins should be able to do better than that and I am getting set up for shooting at 1000 yards with it. The problem is that I have tried 4 bullets (two ELD's, a Match Burner and Lapua) and I am getting 1.5 to 2 MOA. I have tried three different powders too. I had a Barnes TTSX set up for hunting in the Savage. I was frustrated with the loads I developed for the Havak (different seating depths using distance from lands) not doing well. The Barnes that was set up for the Savage shot at abut an inch and I never even loaded it for the Havak. Anyway, I have never had the much trouble getting a load to shoot well. Three range trips and nothing but the possible Barnes load (which of course I have very few TTSX bullets, plenty of ELD's). I did e-mail Seekins to see if they can shed any light and give me some advice. Heck, my old Sig 716 shot better than this Havak. [/QUOTE]
