Description

Weatherby Hammer Custom ammunition in 6.5 PRC (brand part no. M65PRC124HCB) loads a 124-grain solid-copper bullet built for hunters who want Weatherby-level performance paired with a purpose-engineered terminal design. Hammer Bullets are turned on a CNC lathe from a unique solid-copper blend, with every bullet weighed and micrometer-measured as it’s produced for unmatched consistency and quality control. The .264-diameter bullet carries a .478 G1 ballistic coefficient at a listed 3,100 fps, generating roughly 2,646 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The hollow-point nose initiates expansion immediately on impact, shedding sharp petals while the blunt-fronted remainder of the bullet stays intact for a devastating wound channel. For 6.5 PRC shooters who want that explosive terminal performance, this rifle ammunition is built for that job.
