6.5 PRC Trajectory Calculator
The 6.5 PRC delivers 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics with more velocity and energy for longer shots. With a 140-grain bullet at 2,925 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.2 inches of drop at 200 yards, 12.0 inches at 300 yards, and 27.2 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge retains over 1,400 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and still carries 1,190 ft-lbs at 500 yards, making it effective on elk-sized game at extended range where the 6.5 Creedmoor falls short.
