Hornady Ammunition - 6.5 PRC 143 Gr ELD-X (81621) (Qty 20)

Hornady 6.5 PRC 143 Gr ELD-X Precision Hunter Ammunition (81621) - 20 Rounds

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) from Hornady® is engineered to deliver unmatched accuracy, a flat trajectory, and exceptional long-range performance, all packed into a compact, efficiently designed cartridge.

Key Product Features:

• Superior ELD-X® Bullets with Heat Shield® Tip: The 6.5 PRC ammunition features the advanced ELD-X® bullet, known for its excellent terminal performance at all practical hunting distances. The Heat Shield® tip ensures the bullet maintains its shape and maximizes ballistic coefficient (BC) even under the stress of high-speed travel.

• Efficient Cartridge Design: Often referred to as the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC is optimized for short or medium action rifles with a standard magnum bolt face (.532"). It boasts a long cartridge case neck and a 30-degree shoulder for efficient performance.

• High Ballistic Coefficients: The bullet’s design, verified by Doppler radar, helps it resist the effects of aerodynamic heating, maintaining stability and accuracy over its entire flight path.

• Optimal Accuracy and Aerodynamics: The combination of a streamlined secant ogive, an optimal boattail design, and highly concentric AMP® bullet jackets with a Heat Shield® tip results in a bullet that flies true and hits hard.

• Exceptional Terminal Performance: At conventional ranges (0-400 yards), the high-velocity impact ensures the bullet expands reliably, maintaining 50-60% weight retention thanks to its thick jacket shank and high InterLock® ring.

• Extended Range Capability: Beyond 400 yards, the Heat Shield® tip initiates controlled expansion even at lower velocities, leading to 85-90% weight retention, deep penetration, and large wound channels, making it ideal for larger game.
