Matty Nelson, the director of business management for Seekins Precision, joins me on the show to talk about his company their hunting rifles. Of note, Seekins Precision was one of the first companies to pick up both of the SAAMI standardized high pressure cartridges we have right now in the 277 Sig Fury and the new 7mm Backcountry. Not only that, but all the rifles they’re producing today are forwards compatible with that same technology and, with just a simple barrel change (which you’ll be able to purchase from Seekins Precision), can easily be adopted to shoot new cartridges like a hypothetical 6.5 or 30 backcountry cartridge we might see in the future. We discuss this in more detail during this interview along with the specifics of their current production rifles, what sets the company apart from competitors in the industry, etc.

North Fork’s 120gr and 140gr Semi-Spitzer bullets are outstanding choices for the 25 Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor respectively that facilitate the best possible terminal performance for both cartridges.
