Over the past three days, from September 27th to the 29th, the NRA Whittington Center and the town of Raton, located in the mountains of northeastern New Mexico, played host to dozens of the best extreme long range(ELR) shooters in the world. They had gathered there to compete in what many consider the Olympics of ELR, the 2021 King of 2 Mile.

Developed by George Gardner of G.A. Precision and based off the Ruger Compact Magnum case, the 6.5 PRC was created for use in the Precision Rifle Series matches.

Introduced in 2017 as the fourth in a family of new cartridges from Nosler, the 33 Nosler features a 35-degree shoulder and a beltless design for ease of reloading.  The 33 Nosler can launch a 225-grain bullet in excess of 3,000 FPS, while using less powder than a .338 Lapua.

Peterson Cartridge makes finished casings in the popular belted magnum calibers, like .300 Win Mag. and 7mm Rem Mag. According to president Derek Peterson, “We’re now offering belted magnum basic brass for those customers who want to form it into their favorite belted caliber.”

The origins of one of the most popular cartridges designed by Roy Weatherby date to the 1940’s, when he used the existing concept of a venturi shoulder for his famous double radius shoulder magnum cartridge known as the .300 Weatherby Magnum. The .300 Weatherby Magnum has been a favorite of long-range big game hunters since its formal introduction in 1944, largely due to its velocity and muzzle energy advantages over its contemporaries.

Peterson Cartridge Co. of Pittsburgh, PA today announced the addition of 6.5-300 Weatherby to its growing family of rifle casing calibers.

We are excited to sponsor the Peterson Cartridge Challenge, PRS Pro Series match this April 17th and 18th. The match will be held at MKM Precision in Kennerdell, PA and will host 18 challenging stages that MKM Precision is well known for.
