Hornady 6.5 PRC ammunition (part no. 81620) loads a 147-grain ELD Match Boat Tail Hollow Point for competitive and long-range shooters chasing tighter groups. Hornady builds its ammunition around match-grade bullets designed in-house, giving hunters and shooters factory-loaded consistency.

In our rifle ammunition lineup, this 6.5 PRC loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
