HRNDY 6.5PRC 147GR ELD 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Match line exists for one purpose: giving precision shooters ammunition that performs consistently enough to reveal the shooter’s skill rather than the ammunition’s variance. The 6.5 PRC chambering puts this load in the hands of long-range competitors and serious hunters who need a cartridge that carries velocity and energy well past the distances where most rounds start to fall apart. The 6.5 PRC operates at higher pressures than the 6.5 Creedmoor and launches bullets from a shorter, fatter case, which translates to more retained velocity at distance without requiring an action length that complicates rifle selection.

The 147-grain ELD Match bullet is built around Hornady’s Heat Shield tip, which resists deformation during flight — a real concern at the velocities this cartridge generates, where aerodynamic heating can alter a polymer tip’s shape and unpredictably shift the ballistic coefficient mid-trajectory. A stable, consistent BC is what allows a shooter to trust a firing solution across varied conditions. At 147 grains, this is a heavy-for-caliber projectile for 6.5mm, meaning it favors rifles with a twist rate fast enough to stabilize it — barrels in the 1:8 range are a natural pairing. The brass-cased construction and consistent priming are aimed at hand-loaders and competitors who expect shot-to-shot uniformity that supports repeatable results on paper. Each box contains 20 rounds.
