6.5 Creedmoor Peak

[wvhunter304]

I can’t believe a post hasn’t been made about this today.

While the ammo won’t be available until August, releasing info about it on 06/05 is marketing genius.

Will you buy the ammo? How will it affect the 6.5 PRC? What’s your thoughts?

No, I won’t buy it. My Creedmoor is plenty of rifle for anything within the ranges I should be shooting at.

I won’t be replacing my prc.

Do they have anything planned for July eighth?

Depending on price, I’ll see how it shoots in my Howa Superlite. I don’t reload anyways so a few hundred fps for free if it groups well seems like an easy choice.

I'm actually pretty excited about this one. No need to buy a new rifle with a new chambering, and it seems to be leaning into the idea of doing more with less. I think Federal kinda read the room and made a good move by applying the technology to an existing cartridge, and picking a cartridge that is already wildly popular. Would I sell a 6.5 PRC for it? Probably not. But will this get me to actually pull my 6.5 CM out of the safe and extensively use it? Absolutely. On top of that, a factory load with a 153 gr TMK is a nice touch.

I am going to try it. I want to shoot much farther than @El Jason.

The coolest part is that from what I'm hearing you don't have to buy a special gun. Of course, there are lots of 6.5 Creedmoors out there. I think it's better marketing to just sell the ammo.

I already have a .243.
