This a longer post so please bare with me.
In February 2023 my grandfather passed away. Dad and I were planning to take some time off work to hunt with him for opening of muzzleloader season in 2023 but that obviously never happened. Grandpa hunted with many different shotguns over the...
Finally got some on game performance to report back on. The specs on the load are:
59.5g n565
CCI 200
Peterson fired brass
.035 off JAM
2970 fps
Every year mom, dad, and I do a public land draw hunt in NC and I've been fortunate enough to kill some good deer in a small oak flat on the edge of...
I use the Unique also. I've stuck one case with it but it was 100% my fault. Dies were dirty, brass was dirty, and I am sure I over lubed it and got a 270 case stuck in a Redding die.
Clean dies and brass have lead to problem free loading.
That case is actually still stuck in that die...
I have a vx3hd I just had to send back today that was on my grandpa's Remington 700 30-06. Its giving me erratic groups and no consistency. With the same load it will shoot a 1-1.25" group and then changing nothing it'll shoot a 3" group or shift 2" up or down at random. I had some accuracy...
Yea she seems to be the one.
A lot of thanks to you sir. You've answered questions and helped steer things to help get it dialed in and i greatly appreciate it.
Been searching for the hunting load to use in the Seekins and finally settled on the 140 TGK.
59g of n565 and .035 off the lands has been the ticket. Looking forward to smacking a couple deer with it and being able to report back on game performance.
I have been playing with the 143...
Yea when Hogdon bought out Western Poweder prices went through the roof. I like to muzzleloader hunt but not at that price. For my 150yds max shot, IMR whitehot or 777 pellets work just fine with 250g Barnes Spitfires.
Got home from work and found a little package from Idaho waiting for me. Mag loads easy and cycles perfectly. Can't say enough good things about Seekins and how quick they responded or sent out the mag.
My 2 buddies have Seekins 6.5 PRC rifles and love em. I borrowed one to kill a small buck at 320yds last season so I know it'll be a filler freezer. Looking forward to loading for this rifle once I get a few more rounds down the barrel.
I've been a diehard 270 Win guy since I took up deer hunting. It's what dad shot, its what I killed my first deer with a rifle with, and it just plain works well on game without beating up the shooter. My buddy bought a Seekins Havak Element in 6.5 PRC last year and I had the chance to shoot a...

Took mom to the farm to punch a doe tag. She was using her Model 7 in 243 that she got when her dad passed 20yrs ago. Had a nice 1.5-2yr old doe made the mistake of coming withing 60yds of the blind and stopped broadside. Mom made a good shot and I watched the doe run 50yds down the middle of...
Meant to post this last year but forgot.
Shot a public land 8pt at 65yds in the swamp. Quartered to me a little and stood in a nice opening trying to get down wind of me so I knew it was now or never. He ran 40-45yds and piled up. I watched him drop so didn't need to blood trail him but...
