The Hornady Match 6.5 PRC 147 Grain ELD Match Ammunition delivers the precision and consistency you need for serious target work and match competition. Built on Hornady's no-compromise approach to accuracy, this ammunition combines the efficient, compact design of the 6.5 PRC cartridge with Match-grade components and quality control that separates it from field hunting loads. If you're pushing shots past 1000 yards or demanding repeatable, sub-group performance at the range, this is engineered for that mission.

The 6.5 PRC was purpose-built for long-range accuracy in a sensible package: it fits standard short- and medium-action rifles, uses a standard magnum bolt face, and delivers the flat trajectory and velocity you'd expect from a modern precision cartridge without excessive powder charges that waste barrel life or punish your shoulder. The 147-grain ELD Match bullet features Hornady's Heat Shield polymer tip, which creates a consistent meplat (point geometry) that outperforms traditional hollow-point match bullets and feeds reliably in semi-auto and bolt platforms alike.

What sets Hornady Match ammunition apart is obsessive consistency: cases are hand-sorted for wall thickness, internal capacity, and concentricity; powder charges are matched to the specific load for optimal pressure and velocity; and every round is held to tolerances that buyers of factory ammunition rarely see outside the match world. The result is lot-to-lot uniformity and the kind of predictability that lets you trust your load data and your dope. Each box contains 20 rounds.
