    This pic from Hornady’s website makes me think this is really a long action cartridge

      Others on the way


      Only seen the ammo in the hands of Seekins and GA Precision so it's probably not on shelves quite yet
      Miwayusa has it.

            What's the OAL of the loaded ammo?

            Really waiting to see some real world velocities with factory and reloaded ammo.

              This factory image has me thinking this is a LA cartridge.

                Any more thoughts on this round? Is it a flash in the pan?

                        That makes more sense. So where did that pic three posts up come from? It looks like a win mag in the pic and thought surely they aren't going back to that again.

                              New Hornady 6.5 PRC

                              Does anyone know what the case capacity (grains of H2O) is?

                              I really don’t know that this will offer anything over the 6.5-284. Mine is pushing 140 Bergers at just under 3100fps, shoots under 1/2”, with velocity SDs in the low single digits.

                                I did some water weight tests when our ammo came in a few weeks back. PRC had 2gr more capacity than 6.5-284. Not enough to make me switch if I was already running a 284. I'd consider it if starting from scratch, maybe.

                                I think with a little tweaking, the PRC case could offer a slight performance advantage over the GAP and the 284. The case head is already a better design than both. Working on a reamer now.
