+Peak Creedmoor Considerations

[Aussie Dan]

We are a few months away from seeing user data. Why not wait?

Guess it just depends on whether people already have the rifle or if they're looking to buy before then

From a few articles that I have come across and read I am thinking that the cartridges that will be adopted will have military applications, at least at first. There is guy over on Snipers Hide that has been necking the cases successfully. Will be interesting to see what a .223/5.56 milspec with a 14.5 barrel will be able to do. I am also interested to see what 338 Federal, 308 Win, and cartridges necked up to 35 or 375 will do.
To the OP the easy button would be to use the 6.5 and resell in the future if want to. There are going to be buyers.

Yeah. 375raptor based off 308 plus peak case could be a real win with the supersonic stuff.

They're going to sell ready to load cases........

The point of +Peak is that the case takes the extra pressure and the action only deals with the same pressure it would from a brass round. Whether that's true or not I guess we will see. Maybe they are concerned about what happens if the case fails? Tikka seems pretty slow to adopt new cartridges, features, etc. though. Might just be a company culture thing to be more cautious and take less risks and let other companies work out the bugs and figure out what works and what doesn't.

The way they made it sound, they cant begin testing until CIP certifies since CIP is mandatory, unlike SAAMI.

Also, I think they only use their own ammo for testing, so unless Fed licenses the case tech to Tikka to produce their own, that could be a hard stop.
