If you look at their website, and read the details...the .308 uses Fiocchi brass.
The 6.5 is Peterson Brass. There are real pictures of it in the wild. No question or mystery about it.but if you read the details on the 6.5 cm, it doesn't give the same info, like it doesn't say what brass or projectile. i wonder why they are so clear about the 223 ammo but not the 6.5cm ammo.
but it also says Petersen is a supplier. Hence the confusion. Now, maybe Petersen is doing the loading, but why would they load something that they had no components in especailly when it reads like Spark is doing the loading? Or maybe im just reading too much into the copy and they used the generic copy even though it doesnt 100% apply to the 308 ammo. Guess it really doesnt matter, i dont even shoot 308. Just trying to learn what this new breed of Prime is.If you look at their website, and read the details...the .308 uses Fiocchi brass.

I haven’t bought any ammunition for myself in years but I thought I’d try some of the new 6.5CM prime and support a company that supports SH.
Here are my unscientific findings:

Left: 6.5mm Berger 130gr AR Hybrid OTM. Center: 6.5CM prime projectile. Right: 6.5mm 130gr Norma Golden Target
Performance: 27.0MOA to 1000 yards DA was 1800 (26” 8 twist Rock barreled M700) At one point I fired 20 rounds as fast as I could work the bolt at my 15x25 IPSA plate; had 17 hits. @Defender3 was spotting for me.
Ring on center projectile is from comparator.
The new Prime 6.5 ammo I have do appear to be pointed.You said unpointed, but the pictures all look like they have been pointed.
i was relaying info i was told by jim which is that the bullets are not specifically pointed to increase bc for target/match type stuffYou said unpointed, but the pictures all look like they have been pointed.

that is the same with me, i ordered some jlk's pointed and they are darn pointy. i also don't think the picture above shows the new prime bullet to be that pointed.Even in the picture of the projectiles above? Looks unpointed to me. The only pointed bullets I have had are jlk’s so my sample size is small.

That being said, I live behind the Iron Curtain in California. As of July 1st out-of-state online ammo purchases are only possible to California consumers with FFL 03 and CA Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) paperwork. Any plans to support this avenue?
Best,

Yup...if you are in CA we cannot send directly to you...write into [email protected] and we'll find the nearest CA dealer to you...
Too kind...thank you very much - if you issues with CA please contact me via our support email: [email protected]
My ffl in San Jose says he is GTG with the process, I will test it out in July with other ammo and let jim@prime know.
We are working on a CA idea - its pretty bold...would love your input on it...please send me your number via an email to [email protected] and I'll call you to pick your brain.
