The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was initially designed by George Gardner of GA Precision and Hornady in 2013 and released at the 2018 SHOT Show. It is essentially a more powerful and flatter-shooting version of the 6.5mm Creedmoor and uses the same bullet, but not the same cartridge case. Rifles chambered for the 6.5mm PRC must be capable of handling (short-action length) 2.955 in (75.06 mm) overall length cartridges.
