The rifle comes with a well thought out carbon fiber magazine that allows hand loaders to seat bullets past short action mag lengths. One of these factory rifles is the Seekins Havak PH1 (and the PH2 that just replaced it) which comes with a threaded 24 inch, 1:8 twist Rock Creek barrel on a Havak action, all bedded in a carbon fiber/composite stock. Because of this, many factory rifle options are now available due to the rising interest in the caliber. Word is other ammo companies are coming out with additional offerings as well, maybe as soon as early 2020. These include a Hornady Match 147 ELD-M and a Precision Hunter 143 ELD-X line. One of the benefits of the 6.5 PRC is Hornady offers match and hunting ammo in the caliber. This is making it appealing for folks that want to take game without the punch of heavy recoiling magnums. Heavy 6.5 cal bullets are aerodynamic, have excellent sectional density, and coming out of a non-belted magnum case at around 3,000 fps packs a punch on even elk sized game. This is making 6.5 PRC very popular in the precision/long range hunting world. Generally giving shooters a 150-200 FPS velocity bump over the 6.5 creedmoor, depending on the load. Designed by George Gardner of GA Precision, this caliber fits into short action receivers and utilizes a magnum bolt face. 6.5 PRC has been gathering a large following since it was released by Hornady in 2017.
