Can it get any better, any Faster? Guess only time will tell.
I was reading in F&S (july'18, i think it was), and there is a write up on Hornady's 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge). Says it's a new short mag, (parent-case) .30 RCM (300RCM) necked down to 6.5.
The 147g match bullets hit 2,900 fps and the 143g hunting bullets hit 2,960 fps.
Online search shows it stays at supersonic speeds beyond 1,300 yds. At 1,000 yards, bullet drop is only about 24.5 moa and will hit in 1.4 seconds with retained velocity of more than 1,600 fps. It's 5% faster than the 300 win mag with 68% less recoil.
Anyone else read about it and/or anyone shoot this particular round, if so, what do you think about it?
Here's a good write up on it from Shooting Illustrated. https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2018/2/27/review-hornady-65-prc-cartridge/
