Federal 6.5 Backcountry?

[JohnJohnson]

I've heard similar, not sure of validity. But it was an issue and production 6.5 peak ammo doesn't exist for Ted/ARC to validate anything. I'm just saying I can understand why a firearm manufacturer might want to avoid giving a thumbs up to something they dont have actual data on because it doesn't exist yet.

Perfectly understandable but I do wonder about ARC having zero feedback on 7BC in their actions. Given it's been out like 1.5 years now.

Yeah. I agree. I would be slow too if a firearm manufacturer. High pressure does seem to be the direction the industry is going though.

Adding a weird note to this, American Rifle Company is withholding their verdict on whether it's fine to use +Peak in their actions. They're somehow acting like this is a new and surprising thing, despite the fact that 7BC has been out for over a year and works off of the exact same concept. The end result will 100% be that it's fine to use in their actions but it baffles me that they seemed so caught off guard by all this.

Ted’s an aerospace engineer by trade, you don’t know until you test as being wrong could get people killed.

That being said if his actions could withstand the case head separation testing he did I can’t see how they wouldn’t take the higher pressures just fine.

I wonder if the 6.5 creedmor + peak necked down to 6 creedmor will have faster velocities than the 6UM…
