What are your thoughts on the seekins? Is it better then the bergara or it’s kinda personal preference? I’m debating between those 2 rifles and I want to do hunting/target shooting and I’m from the PNW?
@marks5049 the biggest deciding factor between the 2 is weight and then trigger pull weight. The seekins goes lighter in both categories. I like the lines of the HMR stock over begara's other options the squared crest stock is going to have very similar lines as the seekins. You won't go wrong with either option but you'll l be making the decision on what weight you prefer. I wanted lighter for back country hunting. But front country or range work the HMR will do better for recoil management.
My Tikka shoots lights out with factory ammo, thats crazy that one didn’t. I have a Fierce Carbon Rival that is very accurate. Ive shot many sub .5” groups with it. My recipe is 56 g of h1000, adg brass, 147 eldm, cci250 primers. I loved the video. I also have a Seekins Element 7prc and ph2 in 300 prc. They both shoot pretty consistent sub .5” groups. I keep all my targets in binders to compare as the years go by. Great video, Ill look forward to more.
Thanks, that load just didn't seem to really shine in any of the rifles my Tikka won me the whitetail madness NRL hunter match last year, it shoots dang good. And they all are exceptional rifles in their own right. I will be working up an elk load for my seekins to try out tomorrow.
I am currently having a 22 Creedmoor built it should be here this week. Looking forward to giving that a go as well. But yes 6.5 PRC is a very capable cartridge with tons of possibilities. I came to a very similar conclusion.
That's what I had it was nothing crazy I just wanted to see what shooting the same ammo through different rifles would look like all of them may have had better or different results based on a different loading. But not every rifle shoots factory loads well either. I know for a fact that the tikka doesn't shoot the 143 eld-x very well. I was surprised at the size of some of the groups with this load. I intend to get them all back and try them on what shoots well in them to showcase the potential of each rifle.
@@reedallaboutitmedia I have a t3x lite roughtech ember 6.5 prc stainless and it loves the Hornady 143 eld-x round. I did the same thing you did and shot a 3 3 shot group at 0.820! It’s unbelievably accurate straight out of the box!
Yep it's one of those habits. I was thinking about doing a giveaway. On a future video where you guess how many umms I say for the year, and the closest person gets a prize pack.
Try the norma match cheap. And shoots .30 groups out of my 6.5prc. Found for 23$a,box then redo test ..think factory anmo woyld be way better groups

If I could only pick one cartridge it would be 6.5 PRC or 22 Creedmoore

Why wouldnt you use factory ammo? Throwing out a random load makes no sense at all. Without a doubt the groups will shrink.
