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.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Popular loads range from 140-grain hunting bullets to 147-grain match options. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions for precise holdover data.
