Ally Munitions Premier – 6.5 PRC 156gr Berger Elite Hunter
Not for semi-auto use. Bolt action only.
Our Premier 6.5 PRC 156gr Elite Hunter offering is designed for serious hunters who need reliable terminal performance and precision at extended ranges. Whether you’re pursuing elk, mule deer, or hogs, this load combines top-shelf componentry with our proven handloading process to deliver exceptional results.
This round was developed with one purpose: to maximize the effectiveness of the Berger 156gr Elite Hunter—a bullet renowned for its long-range performance, heavy-for-caliber weight, and devastating terminal behavior. We use Lapua brass, temperature-stable powder, and match-grade assembly methods to ensure that this load performs in both low- and high-density altitude environments.
Available in: 50-round boxes
What Is Premier Ammo?
Our Premier Line is the pinnacle of what we offer at Ally Munitions. Every round is handloaded and subjected to strict QC and field testing. If it doesn’t shoot to our standard, it doesn’t ship.
To qualify as a Premier load:
-
Every case is prepped by hand
-
Every powder charge is weighed individually
-
Primers are seated to precise depth specs
-
Projectiles are hand sorted and seated to strict COAL targets
-
Every lot must shoot sub-½ MOA and hold single-digit SDs across multiple test rifles
This isn’t factory ammo—it’s the kind of ammo we use when failure isn’t an option.
Why We Chose the Berger 156gr Elite Hunter
We chose the 156gr Elite Hunter because it represents the ideal blend of external and terminal ballistics. The heavier profile delivers superior energy retention at longer ranges, while the Elite Hunter design features controlled expansion for large game. This projectile allows shooters to confidently take longer ethical shots, and it performs exceptionally well in 1:8 twist PRC barrels.
Don’t be fooled by the heavy weight—this round still offers a manageable trajectory curve, making it an excellent choice for both long-range shooting and serious hunting applications. The 156gr Elite Hunter is trusted by western hunters across the U.S. for a reason: it works when the shot matters most.

Velocity Performance
All testing was conducted through suppressed rifles at 70°F. The 30°F velocities shown below are calculated using our in-house velocity modeling tool, which factors in barrel length, powder temperature sensitivity, and data from our extensive internal testing library. While these outputs are highly accurate for comparative planning, it is still strongly advised to chronograph your ammo to capture true platform-specific performance.
