Product Overview
The Hornady Match 6.5 PRC 147gr ELD Match is purpose-built for competitive long-range shooting and precision rifle applications. With an exceptional 0.697 G1 ballistic coefficient, this heavy-for-caliber bullet maintains velocity and resists wind drift better than nearly any other 6.5mm projectile available. At 2,910 fps muzzle velocity with 2,764 ft-lbs of energy, it delivers the flat trajectory and consistency that competitive shooters demand.
PRS and NRL competitors will find this load ideally suited for matches where wind calls and precise holds at distance separate winners from the field. The ELD Match bullet's Heat Shield tip is immune to aerodynamic heating, ensuring the BC remains constant throughout the bullet's flight rather than degrading as conventional polymer tips can. This translates to more predictable drops and smaller groups at 1,000 yards and beyond.
Long-range target shooters and those developing precision handloads will appreciate this factory ammunition as a consistent baseline for testing rifles and optics. The match-grade components and tight quality control make it an excellent choice for establishing a rifle's accuracy potential before investing time in load development. It also serves as reliable backup ammunition when handloading time is limited.
- Industry-leading 0.697 G1 ballistic coefficient for minimal wind drift
- Heat Shield tip maintains BC consistency throughout flight
- Heavy 147gr bullet maximizes the 6.5 PRC's long-range potential

- Heavy bullet may require faster twist rates (1:8 or faster recommended)
- May not stabilize in all 6.5 PRC rifles depending on barrel specifications
