Federal 6.5 Backcountry?

[Coalcopper]

It’s going to be 6.5 creedmoor using the peak alloy cases. So essentially what some these niche companies are doing but from federal.

I would guess 308 is also coming.

Lots of things coming in new barrel tech and cases. If this holds, there won’t be a need for a 6.5 PRC. But just speculation of course.

A 308 would be perfect!

Yeah I agree. I only have four 308's. Lot more 308's out there than 6.5 Creeds.

Believe it or not the 6.5 creed has actually outsold 308 ammo in the last two years. Peak in 308 would make a wicked elk gun.

Have it not need it > need it not have it.

If it was a completely free lunch, I'd agree. But it's not.

Otherwise we'd have his 11 year old shoot a 375 ruger.

Not free…
Cheap, though.

Im using the rumors of the 308 peak being next as an excuse to buy a 308 now

I'd argue there's no actual gain whatsoever with the only thing extra velocity buys it is more distance. When that isn't needed in the first place.

The extra MV does help mask elevation/windage errors a bit, which is still kind of nice.
