PETERSON 40062-R 6.5 PRC 50/10

Peterson Cartridge 6.5 PRC brass comes in a 50-round box (10 bags of 5) ready for reloaders building ammunition in this increasingly popular intermediate-magnum caliber. The 6.5 PRC was purpose-built by George Gardner of G.A. Precision for competitive precision rifle series matches, but it's proven itself equally at home in the hunting field and on long-range targets. If you're already familiar with 6.5 Creedmoor, think of the PRC as the step up—more velocity and energy for distant game, yet it demands less powder and generates less recoil than full-power magnums like the .264 Winchester Magnum or 6.5-300 Weatherby.

For handloaders, Peterson brass is known for consistent quality and dimensional uniformity—both critical when you're working up loads for precision applications where tight tolerances matter. The 6.5 PRC's case geometry, derived from the Ruger Compact Magnum platform, feeds reliably in short-action rifles while delivering magnum-class ballistics. Whether you're assembling match rounds or hunting ammo that needs to reach out 500+ yards, Peterson cases give you a reliable foundation.

This format—50 rounds per box, packaged as ten 5-round bags—keeps your brass organized and makes it easy to track batches through the reloading process. If you're new to the 6.5 PRC, the caliber's rising popularity means more load data, bullet selection, and firearm availability than ever before. Established PRC shooters and hunters recognize Peterson as a quality component choice to keep your presses fed.
