Mitch and Joe take advantage of our employee checkout program to put an Endex rifle with a 20" 6.5 PRC barrel through a real-world validation. On steel past 1,500 yards, they confirm dope for upcoming hunts and show how a well-built system and solid fundamentals make long shots repeatable. Even as the 140-grain VLD approaches the transonic window at that distance, hits on steel remain predictable—underscoring the Endex system’s consistency and the importance of reading wind, verifying elevation, and running clean shot processes.
Highlights
- Rifle/System: Endex, 20" 6.5 PRC
- Bullet: 140gr. VLD; nearing the transonic threshold at ~1,500+ yards
- Objective: Validate ballistic data and confidence for upcoming hunts.
- Takeaway: With good BC bullets, verified dope, and disciplined wind calls, extended-range impacts are achievable and repeatable
Why it matters
- Real-world proof a 20" Endex 6.5 PRC setup is more than viable at long range
- Practical prep - confirming drops and wind before the season pays dividends in the field
