Default 6.5 prc

The 6.5 PRC was just listed on AmmoGuide and I found it interesting as I should be able to get some cheaper dies from Hornady than the 6.5 EXTREME dies I had them custom make about 6 years ago. The 6.5 EXTREME has been on AmmoGuide for a number of years. I designed it to run the 140 Berger to just over 3000 fps, in a 26" barrel, with no vertical problems that LR shooters were experiencing with the 6.5-284. Retumbo at 60 gains did that very well and pressures were much less than the 6.5-284.

Hornady legitimizing this cartridge is great as the 143 ELD-X bullet, at close to 3000 fps, will be an awesome hunting tound as is the 129 LRAB at about 3100 fps.
