Hornady 6.5 PRC 147gr ELD Match

Hornady 6.5 PRC 147gr ELD-Match

The Hornady 6.5 PRC 147gr ELD-Match is built for precision shooters who demand industry-leading consistency and accuracy from factory-loaded ammunition. Designed with competitive long-range performance in mind, this cartridge delivers superior ballistic performance thanks to Hornady’s game-changing ELD® Match bullet design and stringent manufacturing standards.

At the core of this load is the 147-grain Extremely Low Drag Match (ELD® Match) bullet, which features Hornady’s proprietary Heat Shield® tip. This hardened polymer tip resists aerodynamic heating, preserving its ideal shape in flight and ensuring a consistent ballistic coefficient from shot to shot. Combined with an optimized secant ogive and boat tail profile, the ELD® Match delivers excellent aerodynamics, resulting in flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift—even at extended ranges.

Hornady loads each cartridge with carefully selected components to strict specifications. Premium brass, temperature-stable propellants, and match-grade primers work together to provide consistent chamber pressures, tight velocity spreads, and minimal point-of-impact shift under varying environmental conditions. Each round is loaded for exact cartridge overall length and precise bullet seating depth to maximize in-rifle consistency and accuracy.

The 6.5 PRC—often called the “big brother” to the 6.5 Creedmoor—offers a flatter trajectory and greater retained energy at distance, making it a favorite among competitive shooters and long-range hunters alike. When loaded with the 147gr ELD® Match bullet, it reaches its full potential in precision shooting applications.
