For deer, elk, and medium game at extended range, Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 6.5 PRC ammo bridges the gap between traditional Core-Lokt expansion and modern ballistic coefficients. The 140-grain polymer-tip bullet exits at 2975 feet per second, carrying 2751 foot-pounds of energy — enough retained velocity at 300 yards to expand reliably in vitals while maintaining a flat trajectory inherited from the PRC case geometry.
Built for the Box
Remington positions the polymer tip to shift the projectile’s center of gravity rearward, stabilizing flight and reducing vertical dispersion at distance. Upon impact, the tip drives into the lead core, initiating expansion before the jacket’s bonded construction controls petal formation. Brass cases carry Boxer primers and measure to SAAMI minimum-spec tolerance, suitable for handloaders seeking once-fired PRC brass after the first firing cycle.

The 6.5 PRC case holds enough capacity to push the 140-grain pill past 2900 fps without excessive pressure, making it a practical step up from 6.5 Creedmoor when hunting conditions demand an extra 100–150 yards of effective range. More 6.5 PRC ammo options in stock for load testing and zero confirmation.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering.

- Observe the four universal rules of firearms safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it. Review our four rules explainer.
- Verify that your state and local jurisdiction permit possession and use of this ammunition before ordering. Some states restrict polymer-tip projectiles or impose magazine capacity limits that affect how many rounds you may load into a firearm at one time.
- This ammunition contains lead components. Wash hands after handling, avoid inhaling dust at indoor ranges, and dispose of spent cases in accordance with local ordinances. California Proposition 65 disclosure: this product can expose you to lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
