Since the cartridges for a 6.5 creemoor and a 6.5 prc are different sizes, can the prc shoot the standard ammo? I ask as the prc ammo is extremely difficult to come by while standard 6.5 creedmoor is scarce, but still able to be located

Trevor D. · Answer

By standard ammo do you mean 6.5 Creedmoor? If I'm understanding the question correctly, no you cannot use 6.5 Creedmoor in a 6.5 PRC rifle, they are based on different parent cases and aren't interchangeable. While the bullet in each cartridge is the same 6.5 PRC is a longer and larger diameter case.

James G. · Answer

Russ, no Sir, they are not interchangeable in the oppositely chambered firearm. Cheers and stay safe!
