Looking for a no-nonsense 6.5 PRC deer load that won’t drain your wallet? Pick up this 200 round case of Norma Whitetail 20166592 6.5 PRC 140 grain pointed soft point ammo.
Norma designed the Whitetail line around one job: dropping deer cleanly at realistic hunting distances. The 140 grain pointed soft point bullet uses a traditional cup-and-core design. The pointed lead tip starts expansion fast on deer-sized game, and the tapered copper jacket controls that expansion so the bullet penetrates through the vitals. Many modern premium bullets are built for elk and long shots. For whitetail inside 300 yards, a classic soft point often opens more reliably and leaves a better blood trail. Norma rates this load at 2,887 fps and 2,591 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those numbers give you a flat trajectory and more than enough energy for deer, pronghorn, and hogs.
The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was introduced by Hornady in 2018. It pushes long, high-BC 6.5mm bullets about 200 fps faster than the 6.5 Creedmoor from a short-action magnum case, with recoil most shooters find very manageable. It is chambered in rifles like the Bergara B-14, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt, Christensen Arms Ridgeline, and Seekins Havak. Norma has made ammunition in Sweden since 1902 and is known for premium brass that holds tight tolerances. The Whitetail line brings that quality to a price that makes practice affordable. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a 200 round case lets you zero, confirm your holdovers at 200 and 300 yards, and practice field positions without switching loads before opening day.
This Norma ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable and prized by handloaders. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case.
