Seekins PH3 7 Back Country

[Hammsolo]

Morning Fellers,

My brother sent me information on the 7 Back Country. It’s awesome in so many ways, but the “inability” to reload effectively at this time killed it for me.

What are your thoughts?

It led me to the new PH3! I’m pondering a 7 prc or… what a rifle for the price? It may need to be purchased this summer.

The Gunwerks thread sure made me think. If I had 12k for a rifle I would buy one of these, develop a load, and go on an epic hunt.

Seekins Discontinuing Everything

I've only fondled a few Seekins rifles and they are slick. Scheels has one right now for around $1600 which is tempting. They're a 26" barrel so if you're a suppressor guy it's going to take 3 business days to swing that rifle around.

If a cartridge can’t easily be reloaded, that would be a deal breaker for me.

I've not looked into but rumor on forums is that RCBS was charged with making dies and they stopped because it took 12 passes in a die to get it to resize. Rumors are also of poor groups. Few of the videos that I've seen don't show groups but again 2nd hand info suggests 2" 5 shot groups is common.

I know a lot of guys that don't reload and don't shoot a lot so $3-4 per shot probably won't bother them.


I'm told this is the video to watch about 7mm Backcountry
