Product Overview
The Norma Golden Target 6.5 PRC 143gr BTHP is a premium match-grade load designed for competitive precision rifle shooting. With an impressive 0.635 G1 ballistic coefficient and 2,831 fps muzzle velocity producing 2,545 ft-lbs of energy, this ammunition delivers the consistency and accuracy that competitive shooters demand. Norma's Swedish manufacturing heritage ensures exceptional quality control and tight velocity spreads.
Long-range competition shooters will appreciate the Golden Target's slender boat tail hollow point design that combines high BC with outstanding accuracy potential. The 143gr weight is heavy enough to resist wind drift effectively while still achieving velocities that keep the bullet supersonic past 1,300 yards. This makes it well-suited for PRS, NRL, and other practical precision rifle competitions.

The Golden Target line has earned a strong reputation among precision shooters for its consistency and accuracy. The premium brass cases are fully reloadable for handloaders who want to develop custom loads using high-quality components.
