The 7-6.5 PRCW Rifle Cartridge

The 7-6.5 PRCW rifle cartridge was designed by Alex Wheeler, whose specialty lies in long distance precision rifle competitions like F-Class, Benchrest and PRS. The cartridge consists of a modified 6.5 mm PRC case necked up to accept a .284-inch (7mm) projectile.

The 33 XC Rifle Cartridge

The 33 XC cartridge was designed by David Tubbs for extreme long range (ELR) shooting applications and shooting events like the “King Of 1 Mile” that feature targets out to distances of 2,400 yards. This cartridge is loaded with .338-diameter projectiles and beyond ELR target shooting, it can also be loaded for long-range hunting applications.
