Bumping the velocity of the very popular and already highly-capable 6.5 Creedmoor by up to 10%, Hornady’s new 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is sure to be a hit on the competition and hunting circuits. Indeed, the first two loads Hornady is offering are a 147 grain ELD Match and a 143 grain ELD-X Precision Hunter.
Hornady says the goal of this new cartridge was to take advantage of their Heat Shield bullet tip and their high ballistic coefficient 6.5mm projectiles with a “really intelligent cartridge case design.” It functions in short- and medium-length actions and is supposed to strike a nice balance between high performance and reasonable barrel life.
The Match load fires a 147 grain pill at 2,910 fps from a 24-inch barrel. That ELD Match bullet has a G7 BC of .351 (G1 is .697).
Precision Hunter in 6.5 PRC sends a 143 grain ELD-X bullet downrange at 2,960 fps. Its G7 BC is .314 (G1 is .623).
At the time of the cartridge’s announcement, rifles and barrels chambered for 6.5 PRC can be purchased from GA Precision, Gunwerks, Horizon Firearms, PROOF Research, Stuteville Precision and Seekins Precision. And that list is sure to grow.
Another millennial key lanyard. Did those become a school requirement or something?
Ok…break it down by location…then by race…see where the problem really lies.
Oh…and in that same time…2,000+ abortions per DAY have happened.
I am pro-choice and pro 2A…not hypocritical like many on both sides.
Mexico has many great places that are safe. Just as in the US, there are places where old fat white guys do not hang around. As a matter of fact, people of the same race as the people in those places wouldn’t want to be there either.
A little awareness is needed here. If you are not familiar with an area ask someone about it. You can feel the tension in some of these places. As an acquaintance once told me, riding the bus through L A’s South Central from the airport, he was surprised how nice everything looked – he came from Philadelphia and thought tha homes newer than 200 years were nice areas
“Uh, Miss? You’ll shoot a better group if you keep your eyes on the target.”
sorry Bloving, not the weekend photo caption contest, but that is good!
I’m more of a meme-literate arsonists #FreeKekistan KekistanAirMilitia
There are 8 million + gun owners in CA. Any business man that doesn’t try for a chunk of that market deserves his bankruptcy. Especially if the trump slump is real.
Not my cup of tea. It’s even uglier than my mosin.
My tree hugging. bleeding heart, liberal wife listens to this idiot every night. The horror, the horror.
When is the divorce? I’ll help you throw a party.
Is that The Range at Austin? Went there this weekend with my daughter who attends UT. Lots of fun bonding time. By the way, people that oppose the suppressor law have never shot at an indoor range!
I am seeing a lot of the “California compliant” AR-15s at the Range I frequent. Recently, while in a local Gun Store Chain shop I saw a lot of these (with other than the Thordsen stock) in their sales rack, so I asked the Sales Person I was working with how they are selling and he said they were selling about on par with standard AR’s and that sales had been picking-up steadily in the past couple of months. Californians are adapting to the new rules just fine, apparently.
I have had one holster like this and I will never have another with the kydex failing to cover the bottom of the trigger guard. It doesn’t take much to get it to flex enough to access the trigger.
Anarchist no. Something far worse and much more dangerous. When and if the time comes for me to fight for my freedoms. I will become death… destroyer of worlds. No Pun Intended. I will choose my enemies carefully and remove them with extreme prejudice. No mercy will be given and none will be expected. The teachings of Sun Tzu “The Art of War”. Will be my way. The fury of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan will be my strength. Patton’s belief in righteousness and destiny I will follow into the hell that is war releasing as much horror on my enemies as can be done. No Prisoners No Mercy No Humanity Just the Horror of total Annihilation. The Purpose of War is to Kill as many of the enemy as possible and destroy everything they rely on. Giving them nothing left to fight with or for. That is how wars are fought and won. Politicians have no place in war. They are the reason we lost Korea, Vietnam. The reason we continue to fight terrorism today. They want to do everything by set of so-called rules of war. Made up by the same kind of Snowflakes that are out to take our Right away. Anarchist No. The Darkness that makes men fear the night.
I’m a Second Amendment absolutist.
I believe that theright to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, part of the Bill of Rights.Fixed it for Mr. Atlas by removing “believe” which is apologetic and a qualifier. ” I believe the sun rises in the East” is drivel. “I believe the sun rises in the North” is not relevant to a discussion.
I’m an anarchist.
An anarchist, if you’re not familiar with the history of the philosophy (and 99.99999 percent of the population aren’t, but think they are), is someone who does not believe in the legitimacy of the state. The state is viewed as an unnecessary and coercive organization. As we anarchists say, “The state IS organized crime.” And it has always been so and always will be so.
As an aside, there are right and left wing anarchists – and other factions as well. The left anarchists tend to be “communitarians” (as opposed to socialists or communists), and right anarchists tend to be free market supporters (as opposed to “capitalists” per se who are usually actually “state capitalists”.) In other words. some believe that cooperation is more important than competition, and some believe the other way. Some people both are required.
As such, I go further than the Second Amendment. I say everyone should be armed, everyone should be able to defend themselves as they see fit, and everyone should behave as they see fit subject only to the consequences of their actions (which means not whining about those consequences when someone shoots your ass for being a cretin and threatening someone else.)
Actually I USED to be an anarchist. As I’ve gotten into advanced age, I’ve learned that human civilization can NOT be ordered in any practical positive way due to human nature.
So we’re stuck with what actually IS the only actual anarchism that exists – the current anarchy of corrupt states, corrupt corporations, corrupt crime and corrupt individuals.
I’m reminded of a line uttered in the first episode of The Lone Gunman TV show from a father to his son: “I know you’re fighting for the American Dream…Just don’t expect to win.”
Deal with it. It ain’t gonna change.
““Individuals do not have the legal authority to determine for themselves what their rights include,” … “In our republic, determining the scope and content of constitutional rights is up to the legislatures and the courts.”
EXCEPT… the legislatures and courts are made of individuals, who’s JOBS are to represent the PEOPLE. The government is meant to be OUR secretary. On top of that, the scope and content of the Bill of Rights was determined 226 years ago, in 1791, using specific language of the time. It’s entire purpose is to limit government power.
However, just like any law, such as federal and state gun law, the constitution and bill of rights have no power except that of the people. Words on a piece of paper are meaningless without the will and ability of an individual or group to uphold their meaning and integrity. The bill of rights, all of it, has no meaning without the people of the gun.
As long as califorina continues to harbour illigal aliens. Breaking fedral law i dont see why any law which violates the constitution, should be followed.

Over the past 15 years in my career I’ve learned mothers are quite possibly the worst people alive.
Watching them interact with their children is cringe inducing. When the child begins to cry and scream it’s not because of discipline. It’s because the child is realizing what a broken backwards bitch his mother is.
There has been a multitude of LGS thefts in my area(NE Illinois and NW Indiana). Interestingly enough the gunshop in the worst ghetto hood has not been robbed-Chucks in Riverdale,IL. No real storefront,blastdoors,bars on the window and buzzed in. And it works in a neighborhood I avoid. They have plenty of guns & ammo on display too. As mentioned quite similar to a high risk jewelry store. And zero curb appeal…
After reading through the comments on this article, most of which are very well articulated, I feel extremely happy to be a member of this community. I have no doubt that folks standing by the Constitution, and the 2A, are squarely on the right side of this debate. Liberals spewing hate for basic human rights, unable to formulate a reasonable argument utilizing neither facts nor reason, are an imminent threat to society. They prefer to force submission to their ideas by force and violence instead of logic; precisely the reason for the 2A’s creation.
Talk about locking the barn door after the horses have run off.
Only parents “educated” by the public school system could be this stupid.
who hoo
…but just last month Govenor Brown signed a law making it even illegaler to have a gun on school grounds!
O2
So why did the Guv’ner do such a half-acid job? He should have made it “Illegal-est”!
That must be why the Secret Service is forbidden to carry guns when escorting the President. It would only make him less safe.
4 star rating for an $1100+ gun that doesn’t put the bullets where you want em to go; I quote your own review: “Accuracy * * Disappointing. A tighter barrel-slide lockup could drastically improve the H9’s accuracy, which needs drastic improvement.”
Huh.
