6.5 Creedmoor Peak

[Forkyfinder]

Just what I need more reloading crap, more dies, etc. all for 100 FPS gain?

300 fps - and i wouldnt know, didnt buy a prc

I didn't buy a prc either, but I know the hype is mostly BS as a friend did and he's not seeing the advertised 300 FPS gain with the peak ammo.

Easy to see who follows influencers and who doesn't.

Just what I need more reloading crap, more dies, etc. all for 100 FPS gain? For about 99% of my shooting on big-game, there is no difference, for the other 1 percent, an extra mil/moa click on the scope.

Not buying into the hype.

Can we at least agree the world’s flat?

Hands down the most “trendy” round in the last decade at least in the circles I run in. Sometimes it feels good to be an incompetent/factory rounds/7 rem mag guy. The 30+ antelope/deer/elk that guns killed didn’t seem to care much about headstamp.

Nice to see some new technology can trip triggers. Usually a good indicator something’s there. It’s Friday, time to hunt.

Nothing wrong with any of them, old or new, every innovation is small when the market is this mature.

New tech always triggers simpletons.

It's never not absolutely hilarious to watch the easily influenced gripe about the price of NR tags, then buy every single piece of dogshit that they think is "innovation". Usually that "innovation" is used to kill a critter they could shoot 99% of the time with grandads '06 and weaver K4.

I'll keep spending my money on NR tags, and actually hunting.

There's some real satisfaction in realizing you haven't fallen off a turnip truck recently, while watching others jump like lemmings off a cliff in a single file line..

They really need to put this Peak ammo on the Home Shopping Network...I think a bunch of hunttalkers are regulars on that channel.

Probably sell out in 20 minutes.

It wasn't that long ago that smokeless powder became the norm. I bet there were naysayers back then when the pressures jumped from 20,000 psi for the old black powder rifles to 50,000 psi in smokeless powder rifles just prior to ww1.


I took some of Federals higher ups on a fishing trip this past year. They shared a lot of info about the new technology and their plans with it. Pretty cool to talk with the people in charge of these innovations. Big plans for the near future!

All of this started in 2018 when the Army requested rounds capable of exceeding what was currently achievable through brass alone. Rest assured to those scared of more pressure, Federal has done their homework... The Army signed an agreement to purchase 40 million rounds of 6.5 creedmoor plus peak for using in their existing rifles.

Yes. Basically everything falls in that category.

You still using grandads '06 and a weaver k4?
