Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC 143gr ELD-X Ammo 20rd Box

The Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC delivers match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance for long-range hunting applications. This premium ammunition combines Hornady's proven ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag eXpanding) bullet technology with carefully selected propellants to maximize ballistic coefficient and ensure consistent expansion across all hunting distances.

What Makes This Different

The ELD-X bullet features a Heat Shield tip that resists deformation in flight, maintaining its ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Unlike traditional polymer-tipped bullets that can melt or deform at high velocities, the Heat Shield tip preserves accuracy at extended ranges. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, ensuring 50-70% weight retention for deep penetration on game animals.

Key Features

• 143-grain ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip for consistent BC
• Optimized for 6.5 PRC chambering with match-grade brass cases
• InterLock ring technology ensures controlled expansion and weight retention
• Ballistic coefficient of .625 (G1) for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Muzzle velocity of 2,960 fps from 24-inch barrel
• Premium brass cases ready for reloading after firing
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles, with effective range extending beyond 500 yards on medium to large game. The 6.5 PRC cartridge provides superior ballistics compared to traditional hunting calibers, delivering 1,500+ foot-pounds of energy at 400 yards. The ELD-X bullet initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making it effective at both close and extended ranges.
