[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 449791, member: 704"] My grandson recently picked up a Seekens 7 PRC. I woukd like one myself, but my most accurate rifle is my 300 Win mag with a heavy 28+ inch barrel. However the ones that get the most attention are my 6.5 Creedmoors. The 24 inch lighter barrel started out as a 22-250, but I put a Criterion Creedmoor barrel on it set at .001 inch over minimum SAMI specks for head space. That works the brass less for longer life. For accuracy I neck turn all my 6.5 brass. Neck tension on my Creedmoor brass is controlled with a .286 bushing in my RCBS Gold Medal bushing die. Also for consistency I throw my powder charge .1 grain heavy (41.6 g with 140g bullet) then use a light tweezer to pick out one kernel of powder at a time until the scale drops to my desired weight of 41.5g. The reason the 7 PRC interests me is because it's another cartridge I could play with like my Creedmoors. It's a challenge to develope a load that beats what you currently have and I think I'm at the end of improvement on my Creedmore loads. Check out the standard deviation on these 140g Berger VLDs.[ATTACH type="full" alt="1000026690.jpg"]75221[/ATTACH] Pushing that bullet to over 3000 fps with R26 is not as consistent.
