6.5 PRC

[Customweld]

I'm looking at picking up a Christensen Mesa in 6.5 PRC. Ammo availability has me a little concerned. I know Gunwerks and Bertram have brass in stock. Has anyone heard if Hornady is going to ramp up production?

I can't speak to what Hornady's gonna do, but it has been a pain trying to get my hands on factory loads. I have a couple of local shops keeping an eye out for me. Right now Bertram is out of stocok but Ryan said it should be in soon.

That's good to know. I was really leaning towards the 30PRC, but that's out of the picture for now.

There's one box of 300 prc at a local shop

Bertram is out of stock. It went quick! should have more in a couple of weeks.

IF you find some brass or loaded ammo buy it. It will be sparse this year.

I've been eyeing this cartridge and am on the fence due to brass. What's the likelihood of another manufacturer (Norma or Lapua) producing brass for the 6.5 PRC?

Very likely, but I would bet it’s 24 months out or more.

We will have some soon, but it won’t last long.

Haha! I’m late to the 6.5 party so I’ll have to deal with the consequences.

I was able to snag 4 boxes of Precision 143 Eld’s today at a local store. Now onto the next step!

Yes. The PRC is very appealing to me as well as long range deer tool. I’d already be having one built but none of the regular places online and in person have any prc ammo in stock....... maybe that’s a sign I should wait a bit
I’d like to shoot a 300 PRC as well, but no one I know hasn’t one to see what the recoil is like compared to a 300WM or Bee...

Hornady lists a 300 PRC 212 Gr at 2860 FPS so its right in there with the WM so recoil shoukd be about the same.

Well, after a long debate with myself I decided to go with a Browning HC Long Range. I was leaning towards a Christensen Mesa but this Browning popped up at the right time. Now it's time for optics.

Factory ammo appears to be showing up most places. I’ve had no problem buying Hornady Precision from Midway and my local shop. Hopefully it stays that way and some more players come to the brass game.
