George Gardner came out and hunted mule deer with me and another pal in November. They both had 6.5 PRC rifles with 24" barrels. They were shooting the 147 ELD-M bullet loaded to 3080fps with RE26. George told me that his testing of that bullet revealed a .760 G1 BC. Both rifles shot really well. They were both suppressed, and DBM. I'll be testing a 6.5 PRC this winter.....looking forward to it.
That BC at that velocity at that barrel length at that relatively low level of recoil will make a serious hunting cartridge, even though it’s being marketed as a target round at launch.
Now I’m wanting one.
