Overview
Built for hunters who want a long-range option in a medium-game cartridge, this load pairs 6.5 PRC with a 143-grain ELD-X bullet in a 20-round box. Hornady positions it around accuracy and terminal performance, with clean-burning propellants intended to support uniform capacity and consistent shot-to-shot results across changing temperatures. It is also listed as suitable for hunting and target shooting, making it a practical choice for range work and field use alike. Brass cases round out the load, while the emphasis remains on controlled, precise performance rather than close-range versatility.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 20-round box, so it’s best suited to hunting use or load development rather than high-volume range sessions.
- The 6.5 PRC chambering is intended for medium-sized game at long range, so it may not be the right fit if your needs are centered on closer shots or a different game class.
- The ELD-X bullet is described as designed for terminal performance and a high ballistic coefficient, but real-world results still depend on shot placement and conditions.
- Brass-cased ammunition may be preferred by many shooters, but it can also mean a higher per-box cost than some alternative practice loads.
