6.5 creed magnum

My only issue is that they charged me flat rate shipping x5 (bought some of each type) so it better all end up shipping individually or they need to refund me the difference. I understand why they are doing it that way but $70 in shipping is a little over the top.

Yeah I think it’s only on firearms with the free shipping, ammo is all flat rate shipping.

I'm not upset about paying for ammo shipping but I just don't think paying 5x shipping just because it is pre-order is right unless each type is sent individually. Irregardless, I'm excited to see the ammo in my hand and shoot it in the half dozen 6.5 Creedmoor rifles we have. Depending on how they work in the 24", 22", and 20" barrels I'll decide on if it is worth it to go down to 16" on one for me. Based on my experience with the 7mm Backcountry and the quoted velocity with within 50 fps of actual velocities seen for the stated barrel length.

That what I’m concerned about, and no way it won’t have more recoil reguardless of what they try to tell people. Can’t defy physics no matter how good the marketing is.

It has more recoil from the higher velocity, not pressure. but less than PRC because of the lower powder volume.

If the recoil bothers you you should take up knitting

This whole development has really put me in a spot. Here I was, finally settled on a 6 creed, but now we have this whole new possibility.

I’m still leaning toward 6 creed, but the lower practice cost of 6.5 practices ammo + the possibility of using peak ammo has me thinking. Thoughts anyone?

I think its a pretty good bet 6CM +Peak is coming.


However, 6CM is not borderline on velocity with heavies the way 6.5CM is so the improvement likely wont be as stark as 6.5.

I'm skeptical given the amount of overbore that's already there.

6C is certainly not the "perfect" candidate that 6.5 is. agreed.
But 6C has all of the other attributes that make it viable compared to older cartridges(if those attributes are part of Fed's decision-making)
And people will buy it if they make it.......and Fed is a business.

Combined with PXT........
