6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6.5 PRC Which is Better? Shooting Times
The 6.5 RPM is very close in performance to the 6.5 PRC, with the latter being a short-action cartridge bearing an uncanny resemblance to the WSM family. The 6.5mm bore diameter can make a good all-around choice for a big game cartridge, but with factory load bullet weights topping out at 140-grains, you've got to be careful with the large.

Developed by Hornady, the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) is based on a necked-down .300 Ruger Compact Magnum, another Hornady creation. The 6.5 PRC functions in short-actions rifles with a magnum bolt face. It uses the same 143 ELD-X and 147-grain ELD Match bullets that made the 6.5 Creedmoor so popular, but the PRC pushes those bullets at velocities that are about 250 feet per second.

The difference in velocity also makes a significant difference in retained energy. The 6.5 PRC carries almost 450 ft.-lbs. more punch than the 6.5-.284 at 500 paces, although it's worth noting the Nosler load generates less recoil and blast.

Generating nearly 3,000 fps with popular bullets in the 140-grain range, it provides a great deal of downrange performance without crossing the line into the temperamental territory of overbore 6.5s. The 6.5 PRC trounces the milder 6.5mms such as the 6.5 Creedmoor, shades the 6.5-.284 and matches the .264 Win. Mag.—and it fits into light.

36. Either will do exactly what you want. Flip a coin. As far as mono bullets, they are all I shoot anymore. A little less bullet weight and higher velocity is the key. You have to set aside the old bullet weight ideas of the past. The 127LRX from a PRC will do very will on an elk, so would a 139LRX from a 280ai. 1.

We dive into the pros and cons of many of the 6.5 caliber rifle cartridges. We have a nerdy discussion of ballistics and features of each cartridge.

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge is a short-action magnum centerfire rifle cartridge. The 6.5 PRC was created with the design goal of shooting a high BC bullet at 3,200fps from a short-action rifle. It is popular for hunting and long-range shooting. It was really just in 2021 when the 6.5 PRC went mainstream.

That's a larger difference than between a .30-06 and a .300 win mag, of course more powder is required, and with that comes more recoil. Imo, the RPM case (and 264 WM) represent the upper end of useable case capacity for the 6.5 bore, 6.5-300 and 26 Nosler are just a bit too much of a good thing to me.

The Recoil of the 6.5 PRC vs. 6.8 Western. Felt recoil depends on several factors. The gun, bullet weight, powder load, and shooter all have a part to play. The 6.5 PRC round has noticeably less recoil than the 6.8 Western cartridge. At 30.1ft-lbs of free recoil energy, the 6.8 Western roughly has 30% more recoil than the 21.6ft-lbs of the 6.5 PRC.

The 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger Hawkeye (top) and the 6.5 PRC Mauser M-18 (bottom) are emblematic of rifles chambered for today's high-tech cartridge designs, and both provide outstanding accuracy and performance on game.

The 6.5 PRC holds about 28% more powder than the 6.5 Creedmoor. Through a 24" barrel it's supposed to send Hornady 143-grain ELD-X bullets 2,960 fps, but my Hill Country Rifles custom M70 averaged only 2,887 fps with 3-shot groups huddling .75" to MOA.These were factory loads. Hornady's 147-grain ELD-Match loads averaged.

This is similar as well to the 260 Rem/6.5CM scenario, whereas the 6.5 Swede cannot be fit into a short action. As for availability, with the PRC being the newer cartridge, and the fact that only one manufacturer has built a rifle on 6.5 Rem Mag in a limited number in the past 40 or so years.the win will go to the PRC as manufacturers get.

The factory velocities can be beat by judicious handloading; the Hornady manual lists velocities as high as 3150 fps with a 140-grain bullet, albeit with a 26-inch barrel. My own experiences have shown a 24-inch barreled rifle giving just about 3025 fps with a 143-grain Hornady ELD-X bullet.

Savage 110 Tactical. As for a dedicated precision 6.5 PRC rifle, Savage offers the most affordable option by far. Decked out with some nice features, the 110 tactical more than has what it takes to send the magnum 6.5 flying. Chief among these—aside from the proven 110 action—is a 24-inch heavy carbon steel barrel.
