6mm creedmore + Peak

[Escalante11]

Not quite. Little birdies make money off selling rifles; they don't care about cartridges, as long as it's accurate. Can you say that about pay-to-play influencers?

What I’m saying is it’d be helpful if you could elaborate a bit. We’re deep into this thread speculating and you clearly have a few little birdies that given you some insight and observations. If you could elaborate and share some of the specifics, we’d all be appreciative..

I would love nothing more than to see a 6CM steel case hit 6UM velocities. I hate every part of reloading. But little birdies keep telling me the accuracy isn't there in these Federal cases.

Jason Hornady?

Now that’s funny!

Man I'd love to see some steel cased 22 Creed ammo... you'd be slinging 88's at 3200+ in a 16" gun

I'm guessing that Ryan doesn't want to be the reason that Federal may get upset at this rifle manufacture for talking bad about a product they were likely still testing/developing.

Once the ammo actually hits the shelves, I bet there will be more than enough 10 round groups posted within the first week to know what the accuracy is gonna be.

I really have minimal need for my 6.5 prc and have been considering barreling it being able to get PRC velocities out of factor 6.5 creed makes that an easy call. If the same happened with 223, 6cm, I would consolidate down to 3 calibers and just call it good.

I'll say this: there's no gunbuilder I trust pumping out 7BC. Why is that? Steel cases are the future; maybe the 6.5 Steelmoor is it.

When it happens I’ll be an early adopter for sure.
Slinging 77 TMK’s out of an 18” ….Heck Ya !!!

18" would probably be close to 3400! Recoil might go up a little but as is there's not a lot to start with.

I don't really see the 7BC ever being super popular, it's too niche.

I just saw a post on the gram of a nice looking Tikka build in 7BC. Tikkas are solid actions, they just don't seem to tolerate high psi as well as other options. 7BC at 80k+ psi? Be interested in how that all pans out.

Now once 556/65cm/308 peak cases come about, I think they'll really take off. You're basically supercharging your current rifle with 200-250y extended terminal range. Practice with standard psi brass loads, re-zero and hunt with the fast stuff if the precision is adequate.

I have a feeling to make them accurate they will be MUCH slower than advertised in the end.

I’m unsure why people don’t seem to understand that the action isn’t “holding” 80,000 PSI: the case is. Any modern action works fine with the PEAK, and other high pressure cases.

This is new information to me. Got a source?
