Federal 6.5 Backcountry?

All you guys saying I will wait for XYZ caliber to be released in + peak alloy case , are going to be waiting 10 years because federal owns the patient! ( unless they sell the patient or decide to provide XYZ cases)

The patent for "+Peak" and Peak Alloy case technology is owned by Federal Cartridge Company (the parent company of Federal Ammunition, which is part of the Czechoslovak Group). [1, 2, 3]
Federal’s patented Peak technology features a proprietary steel alloy casing that allows cartridges to safely handle maximum chamber pressures up to 80,000 PSI. This high-pressure design yields significantly higher muzzle velocities than traditional brass without sacrificing safety
There are many alloys out there that can perform similarly, probably even better. Federal does not own SAAMI case dimension patents, so anyone can make any case in any alloy they want. Just look up NAS3 cases - they're doing it for several calibers already.
