Although the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (or 6. 5 PRC for short) was originally designed for long range hunting, the 6.5 PRC is still an excellent cartridge for both long range shooting and hunting. Its increased case capacity enables velocities up to 80 m/s or 262 fps faster than the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6,5×55 SE. By design, the 6.5 PRC cartridge case features a longer throat enabling the use of today’s popular, high ballistic coefficient, or HBC projectiles for long-range competitions. For reloading, the 6.5 PRC case is a good match with relatively slow burning rifle powder types. It is a great choice for heavier projectiles exceeding even 9,7 g / 150 grains with excellent retained energy and terminal performance for mid-sized and large game.

Lapua’s 6.5 PRC case takes the Large Rifle Primer (LRP).
