2018 Firearm Cartridges

Modern ammunition has made a definite impact in the way we shoot and hunt; it is more consistent and efficient than it has ever been.

While our tried-and-true designs have only improved with modern powders and projectiles, some of the new developments have definitely changed the game.

There’s lots of new stuff for 2018, and some of it should prove very interesting. Check out these new firearm cartridges for 2018.

  1. Hornady 6.5 PRC

The shooting world has become enamored with 6.5mm cartridges, and rightly so. The projectiles are uber-efficient, the recoil of most of the cartridges is mild, and they deliver terminal ballistics that far exceeds their appearance. Hornady introduces the 6.5 PRC cartridge for 2018, a ‘magnum’ performance counterpart to the 6.5 Creedmoor that grabbed the spotlight over a decade ago. Based on the 6.8 SPC necked down to 6.5mm, the PRC will run in the AR-platform rifles, and should prove to be a winner in the bolt guns as well. It doesn’t offer a muzzle velocity that hasn’t been achieved before, but sometimes the availability of ammunition can change the tide in the ammunition world. Loaded with 147-grain ELD Match and 143-grain ELD-X bullets.
