Seekins Havak Element 6.5 PRC

[rileybassman]

The federal 130 terminal ascent has been money in my Seekins element.

Very accurate, great speeds (2950 in a 21" barrel) and had good performance on my buck this year.

Recommend you try it!

Eldx, eldm, or the 156 take your pick. The two elements we have love all 3.

Took the gun out this weekend and put the first 40 shots through it. Gathered speeds for each shot as I like to look at data. First 17 shots I was having issues with the chrono and was unable to gather speeds. I have the cheap Prochrono so take the speeds with a grain of salt, they seem to be pretty dang low. Anyway anyone who likes to check out data here it is! I will update this thread once I shoot other types of ammo, and compare speeds to a known good chrono. I am also interested to watch the barrel 'speed up' so taking data every shot will be neat to look back on.

For the eldm you have it listed as a 149. Is it the 140 or 147?

My bad it's the 147, I will edit in my spreadsheet

No worries I was just curious. I agree with the velocity seeming low....

Does seem a bit slow. I'm getting around 2870fps with the same rifle and factory 147 eldm.

To the OP, did you see any difference in groupings between the two? Mine shoots them about identically

I know my element in 6.5 with handloaded 156 bergers is 2875

Factory PH with no muzzle device for my 6.5 PRC element is 2865 fps. That is using a Labradar and an average of about 20 rounds. I have approximately 100 rounds down the pipe.
