6.5 PRC Ammo

A friend was so impressed with my 6.5PRC, he is interested in buying one, 3/8moa with the factory Hornady 143ELDX load even impressed me. Helping him shop fora new rifle. I am surprised how many manufacturers are now chambering the cartridge. I would expect that with so many more manufacturers now chambering the 6.5PRC, more manufacturers will start loading it, and it will get easier to source.
 
No better time to reload!!
My first kit was this Hornady one about a decade ago….

I’ve since upgraded numerous parts but it’s a great deal when on sale for around $400.
I’ve been loading my 6.5 PRC Savage UL with 142 grain accubonds and 56 grains of R26. True half inch 3 shot groups and average velocity of 3030fps.

With the ammo prices, reloading is a no brainer. Lapua makes PRC brass now and it can be had for about $2 per piece. The components are around with some searching.

Yeah you are correct… a quick check of Tesro and Hirsch show that they are out of 6.5 PRC Lapua but have lots of other calibers in stock. I’m sure Prophetriver has more on the way. I pre-ordered it last time as I knew once it hit the store it would be gone quick.

300 boxes of it went just from people on the back list and the first and only week we had it. We have a couple boxes here but are holding them for people who are looking to buy a rifle.
 
Gotta jump on this stuff when it's available guys, I picked up a few boxes of Lapua brass from Clay as well.

It was well advertised (here) and he had stock for quite a few days.

Or.. you could buy the Hornady that someone just posted on the EE for $120 for a box of 20... LOL.

Thanks Clay for reliably bringing in the good stuff at fair prices.
