“Tag: 6.5 mm PRC”

Hornady created the most successful new cartridge of the last few decades in 2007 with its thoughtfully designed 6.5 mm Creedmoor, and the Nebraska-based manufacturer is tweaking the .264 caliber even further with the introduction of its newest chambering—the 6.5 mm PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge).

An innovator has introduced a big brother to the 6.5 mm Creedmoor that is poised to become the go-to cartridge for extreme long-range shooting and big-game hunting.

The Model 77 Hawkeye already enjoys a great reputation, just not one that includes precision competitive use. The Long-Range Target aims to change that.

O.F. Mossberg & Sons attempts to cut the competition by affording enthusiasts its long-range capable and feature-rich bolt-action chambered in 6.5 mm PRC.

The 6.5 mm PRC boasts higher velocities and more downrange energy than the 6.5 mm Creedmoor, and with the proper projectile, this cartridge can humanely dispatch big game, even at extended distances.

Winchester Ammunition had previously offered its Copper Impact loads as a subset of the Deer Season XP series, but the manufacturer recently separated the two product lines while also introducing numerous new chamberings to the Copper Impact family.
