The Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC Ammunition delivers match-grade accuracy combined with devastating terminal performance for medium and large game hunting. Loaded with the highly advanced 143-grain ELD-X bullet, this round features a patent-pending Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating to maintain a high ballistic coefficient across its entire trajectory. It achieves a high muzzle velocity of 2,960 feet per second and a commanding 2,782 foot-pounds of muzzle energy out of standard rifle actions. At conventional hunting distances up to 400 yards, the thick jacket shank and interlocking ring assembly yield controlled expansion with 50-60% weight retention. When reaching out past 400 yards, the projectile expansion mushrooms reliably to provide high weight retention and deep, humane penetration cavities.
