Product Overview
The Barnes Precision Match 6.5 PRC 145gr OTM BT is designed specifically for competitive precision rifle shooters who demand consistent accuracy at extreme distances. With a 0.350 G7 ballistic coefficient and 2,960 fps muzzle velocity, this load delivers the predictable performance required for PRS, NRL, and F-Class competition. The Open Tip Match design prioritizes accuracy and aerodynamic efficiency over terminal expansion.
Long-range target shooters will appreciate the temperature-stable propellant that Barnes uses in this load, which provides consistent velocities across a wide range of environmental conditions. Whether shooting in the heat of summer or cold fall mornings, competitors can expect minimal velocity variation and reliable point-of-impact consistency. The 2,820 ft-lbs of muzzle energy helps the bullet resist wind deflection and maintain supersonic flight past 1,400 yards.
This ammunition also serves as an excellent training round for shooters developing skills at extended ranges. The predictable trajectory and consistent performance allow students to focus on fundamentals like reading wind and building positions rather than chasing variables in their ammunition. The premium brass cases are also fully reloadable for handloaders who want to develop custom loads.
- Outstanding 0.350 G7 ballistic coefficient for extreme long-range performance
