Thread: Some thoughts on 6.5 PRC

I sold my 20" PRC. It did everything that I needed but fell short of what I expected.

It was accurate and mild mannered. Killed ok. But for 10 more grains of powder over my excellent 6.5x55 it only yielded about a 100 extra feet per second using 140 grn projectiles.

I would be interested to know what the pressure levels are for the faster loads quoted here. I imagine they will be above the Saami pressure max (65,000 p.s.i.).
