Description

The Remington Premier Long Range 6.5 PRC 140gr Speer Impact load (Remington part no. R28828) is made for hunters who take shots beyond ordinary hunting distances. Remington pairs its loading expertise with the high-ballistic-coefficient Speer Impact bullet, which has a Slipstream polymer tip and bonded construction. This 6.5 PRC version is rated at 2975 fps at the muzzle and still carries 2141 fps at 500 yards. Remington lists the usage as big game and long range, which makes it a fit for a hunter who wants one load for both the stand and the longer shot. The box holds 20 rounds.
