About 6.5 PRC Ammunition
The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was introduced by Hornady in 2018 as a high-velocity, flat-shooting round designed for long-range precision shooting and hunting. It offers improved performance over the 6.5 Creedmoor, providing higher velocities and better ballistic performance at extended ranges. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking a powerful, accurate cartridge for both competitive shooting, long-range shooting, and big game hunting.
Types of 6.5 PRC Loadings
- Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT): HPBT loadings feature hollow point projectiles with boat tail style bases. These differ from traditional projectiles with flat bases and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Like traditional hollow point loadings, these loadings are also designed to facilitate expansion on impact.
- Pointed Soft Point:Like traditional SP loadings, PSP loadings are designed to rapidly expand upon impact, making them optimal for hunting usage. The key difference between SP and PSP loadings is the key term “pointed.” The addition of a distinct point in these projectiles allows for flat trajectories and a greater accuracy potential. Additionally, pointed projectiles are going to have a greater velocity potential than their rounded counterparts.
