Description
The Hornady 6.5 PRC 100gr ELD-VT load is built for shooters who want more from their 6.5 PRC than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 100 grain ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag – Varmint Tipped) to a rated 3450 feet per second, producing about 2644 foot-pounds of energy. Hornady V-Match ammunition pairs the ELD-VT bullet with premium components for match-grade accuracy and explosive varmint performance at long range. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating so the bullet keeps its ballistic coefficient all the way to the target.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 6.5 PRC 100gr ELD-VT until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the 6.5 PRC
Hornady introduced the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge in 2018 as a short-action magnum built around long, high-ballistic-coefficient 6.5mm bullets. It adds roughly 200 feet per second over the 6.5 Creedmoor, extending effective range for elk, mule deer and sheep while keeping recoil manageable in a lightweight mountain rifle.
