The Remington Premier CuT 6.5 PRC ammo stands as a purpose-driven hunting round for shooters who operate in lead-restricted zones or prefer a monolithic copper alloy bullet for its weight retention and penetration profile. The 130-grain polymer-tip projectile leaves the muzzle at 2970 feet per second and carries 2546 foot-pounds of energy downrange. Remington machines precision grooves into the bullet shank to reduce bearing surface, raising ballistic coefficient while lowering pressure. The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, and the solid copper construction drives through hide, bone, and tissue with 95% weight retention. Reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers complete the package.

This load runs supersonic across practical hunting distances and prints sub-MOA groups from quality rifles. The copper alloy projectile meets state and federal lead-free hunting mandates without the fragility of frangible bullets. Remington sources its brass and propellants to mil-spec tolerances, and the polymer tip ensures consistent feeding from box magazines. You’ll find this round in stock for 6.5 PRC ammo applications where lead is prohibited or where penetration depth matters more than explosive expansion.
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. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Follow the four universal rules of firearm safety: treat every gun as if it’s loaded, never point at anything you’re unwilling to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until on target, and identify your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify current federal, state, and local ammunition regulations before purchasing or transporting across state lines.
- This copper alloy bullet does not contain lead but may contain trace metals — dispose of spent cases per local ordinances and wash hands after handling.
