This cartridge is engineered for precision, making it a standout choice for discerning shooters.
Utilizing moderate powder charges, the 6.5 PRC delivers repeatable accuracy, low recoil, and a reasonable barrel life. It consistently produces high velocities, offering outstanding performance for target shooting well beyond 1000 yards. This ammunition is crafted to help you push the boundaries of long-range precision.
Product Features:
- Efficient Design: Often dubbed the "big brother" to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC fits comfortably into short or medium actions with a standard magnum bolt face (.532”). Its efficient case geometry boasts a long cartridge case neck and a 30-degree cartridge case shoulder, optimizing performance.
- The Perfect Tip! Loaded with ELD® Match bullets, this ammunition features the innovative Heat Shield™ tip. This tip creates the perfect meplat (bullet nose) and consistently outperforms traditional BTHP (Boat Tail Hollow Point) bullets, ensuring superior aerodynamics.
- Hornady® Match™ Bullets: Hornady® Match™ rifle ammunition is loaded with the most accurate, consistent match bullets in the world. These bullets feature our advanced AMP® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets, known for their exceptional uniformity.
- Specially Selected Cases: Only the highest quality cases are used, selected based on stringent criteria including wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, case weight, and consistent wall concentricity. This meticulous selection contributes directly to consistent shooting.
- Carefully Matched Powder: The powder charge is meticulously matched to each specific load, ensuring optimal pressure, velocity, and consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- Stringent Quality Control: With extremely tight tolerances and strict quality control measures, all Hornady® Match™ ammunition boasts superior lot-to-lot consistency. From precise bullet seating to optimal charges and velocities, Hornady® Match™ ammunition is designed to uphold company founder J.W. Hornady's original goal: "Ten bullets through one hole."
