Grand Island, NE — It’s one thing to be among the best in your field. It’s something else altogether to be the best of the best.

The Hornady® 6.5 PRC has been honored by Field & Stream with inclusion in its 2018 Best of the Best awards. The honorees are featured in the December/January issue of the magazine, available on newsstands now.

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge was designed to achieve the highest levels of accuracy, flat trajectory and extended range performance in a sensibly designed compact package. Utilizing moderate powder charges that result in repeatable accuracy, low recoil and reasonable barrel life, the 6.5 PRC produces high velocities with performance well beyond 1,000 yards.

The 6.5 PRC is available in 147 gr ELD® Match and 143 gr ELD-X® Precision Hunter®.

Since 1998, the editors of Field & Stream have tested hundreds of new products each year from among the thousands offered by the outdoor industry. After rigorous field testing by the magazine’s experts, a handful are selected as the Best of the Best.

Products such as the Hornady® 6.5 PRC are chosen based on significance of innovation, quality of design and the value they bring to outdoorsmen. The winning products not only withstood tough testing but also stood head and shoulders above the rest, displaying absolute excellence in their field.
