David, The 6.5 PRC is based on the non-belted . 375 Ruger case necked down to hold a 6.5mm bullet. It's a short-action cartridge that's 260 fps faster than its rock-star little brother, the 6.5 Creedmoor.
its a short action see ******Built and named for the Precision Rifle Series, the 6.5 PRC is based on the relatively unknown .300 Ruger Compact Magnum, necked down to hold 6.5mm bullets. It offers a 250 fps velocity boost over the 6.5 Creedmoor, driving the 143-grain ELD-X bullets to just over the 2,950 fps mark. While the Creedmoor's initial concept was to run properly in an AR-15 magazine, the 6.5 PRC is designed for the bolt rifles,***** albeit a short action rifle. The case measures 2.030", with an overall length of 2.955", and uses the same 0.532" case head diameter of the magnum H&H cases and so many of their derivatives.
