Hornady® Match – 147gr ELD-M | 6.5 PRC


Engineered for Precision. Built for Distance.

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) was designed to push the boundaries of long-range shooting in a short-action platform. Dubbed the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6.5 PRC offers higher velocity, a flatter trajectory, and excellent performance on steel, paper, and game — all while maintaining manageable recoil and solid barrel life.

Hornady’s Match series brings this cartridge to life with the 147 grain ELD-M® bullet, providing match-grade consistency and aerodynamic excellence for the most demanding shooters.

Ally Munitions Notes – From Wade

In our testing, we’ve seen velocities averaging ~2,860 fps out of most 24" barrels, with a few slightly hotter examples pushing 2,900 fps. Factory-stated velocity of 2,910 fps is possible but varies by rifle and conditions — chronographing your rifle is always recommended.

This load has delivered excellent long-range accuracy and wind performance with very predictable drop curves. We've successfully used it in the field on mule deer-sized game and smaller, with reliable results at extended ranges.

While it's a match load at its core, don’t underestimate its capability in the field when used with discipline and proper shot placement.
