Step into the world of shooting sports with the Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC 143 Grain ELD-X Ammunition, ideal for medium and large game hunting. As the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, this ammunition’s efficient case geometry is perfect for short or medium actions with a standard magnum bolt face. Its aerodynamic efficiency is unparalleled, thanks to a streamlined secant ogive, optimum boattail design, and highly concentric AMP bullet jackets. Whether you’re dealing with low velocity, 400+ yard impacts or high velocity, 0-400 yard impact, this ammunition continually expands throughout its penetration path, providing deep penetration and large cavities. Plus, the Heat Shield tip defies aerodynamic heating, retaining its shape for the highest-in-class BC over its entire trajectory.
Features
- Dubbed the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC fits in short or medium actions with a standard magnum bolt face (.532″). It’s efficient case geometry features a long cartridge case neck and 30 degree cartridge case shoulder.
- Ideal for medium and large game hunting
- Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
- Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85–90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
- Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in–class BC over its entire trajectory.
- With high velocity, 0–400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50–60% weight retention.
