6.5 creed magnum

My first thought is that it will provide high pressure cases to neck down to 6 creed

Necking down is a bit of a process with these new alloys.

Can’t be anymore of a process than fire forming 6UM

This is probably already in another thread but what do you guys think, especially when they release the 308 as well, along with various others. Death blow to the 6.5 prc, rip.

6.5mm Creedmoor +PEAK

The 6.5 Creedmoor has become one of the most popular modern cartridges for hunting and long-range target shooting. But Federal just unlocked its true potential with new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak.

I’m here for the 308 +Peak! If I can at get 180 gr bullets at least 30-06 speed, from a 20” 308 barrel, I’d be thrilled.

I'm not sure with the +peak case if you will ever be able to keep as low of ES and be as accurate as the prc is. The +peak ammo will have its place but I'm not sure it will ever be as good as the prc is for long range.

What gives you the impression that you wouldn't have a low ES or good accuracy? That was not my experience with the 7mm Backcountry that uses the same Peak Alloy cases. I had low ES (sub 15) and acceptable accuracy (sub 1.5" five shot groups) from all loads with my rifle liking 2 loads the best (sub 0.8" five shot groups with sub 10 ES) from a sub $600 rifle.

Until they release production ammo, I don't see how you could justify your statement. Especially if the cases become components for handloading.
