When Will The 6.5 PRC Be Available

The 6.5 PRC case (Product No. 4 PH 6023) will be available at barrelammoshop.com

The main target was PRS competition because, during competition, shooters engage rapidly with different targets at ranges from above 1000 yards. These competitions are timed, so shooters have to be fast and be able to make rapid follow-up shots and correct misses. During these competitions, the shooter could not use large loads of more than 308 or velocity above 3200fps, so they needed a round with high velocity, mild recoiling loads, medium bore, and flat shooting to perform well in their competition.

Beyond building a load that met the PRS needs, Gardner wanted a round that would fit in a short-action receiver.
