![]() ![]() I estimated a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps based on published load data for 6.5 PRC. So that’s a real-world number! Now let’s see how 6.5 PRC would perform with this bullet! 6.5 PRC 135 grain A-Tip Ballistics I used 2826 fps for my muzzle velocity because that’s the peak velocity from my testing with this bullet during load development. Here I’m using Hornady’s free online 4-DOF ballistic calculator to produce these charts and diagrams. In the case of this 135 grain 6.5mm bullet, there’s two cartridges that come to mind: 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 PRC! 6.5 Creedmoor 135 grain A-Tip BallisticsĦ.5 Creedmoor has become such a popular cartridge in long-range shooting circles, and for good reason! So I’ll lead with ballistics analysis with 6.5 Creedmoor. ![]() And that means selecting a cartridge or cartridges to evaluate ballistic performance with. When evaluating a match bullet, one of the first things I’ll look at is its ballistic performance out to the distances I would plan to shoot at with it. That means these bullets should perform well at long range, and we’ll get into quantifying that performance below!
