Federal Launches 6.5 Creedmoor +PEAK
6.5CM that's faster than 6.5PRC
INTRODUCING 6.5 CREEDMOOR +PEAK
The 6.5 Creedmoor has become one of the most popular modern cartridges for hunting and long-range target shooting. But Federal just unlocked its true potential with new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak. The high-performance cartridge uses the patented Peak Alloy case technology Federal pioneered in its 7mm Backcountry to beat 6.5 PRC. It boosts velocities 300 fps over standard 6.5 Creedmoor and 100 fps over 6.5 PRC with heavier-for-caliber bullets. Shooters get more energy, less drop, longer effective range without harsh recoil or the need to purchase a new firearm.
BEATS 6.5 PRC & 6.5 CREEDMOOR
Using patented Peak Alloy case technology, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is 300 fps faster than brass-case 6.5 Creedmoor and 100 fps over 6.5 PRC.
SHOOTS IN 6.5 CREEDMOOR RIFLES
6.5 Creedmoor +Peak gives shooters the performance leap of a new cartridge through existing 6.5 Creedmoor rifles—there’s no need to buy a new rifle.
HEAVIER-FOR-CALIBER BULLETS
The energy boost of the Peak Alloy case means 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak can push heavier-for-caliber bullets with higher BCs, for more energy and better ballistics.
WHAT IS IT?
All-new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is a high-performance upgrade of the popular 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. Although its external dimensions are identical, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak uses Peak Alloy case technology to increase velocities 300 fps over 6.5 Creedmoor and 100 fps over 6.5 PRC from a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle.
Patented Peak Alloy case technology is fundamentally different than brass cases. Created in response to U.S. military solicitations, it utilizes a proprietary steel alloy that includes other unique elements. This same alloy is used in manufacturing safes, nuclear reactors and other high-strength applications. Peak Alloy allows Federal to safely increase chamber pressures far beyond the limits of brass case ammunition, significantly increasing velocity and energy. The Peak Alloy case is also reloadable when following Federal’s lab-tested processes and data.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
Whatever their background, the competitors, hunters and guides who’ve shot 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak have the same core takeaway: This changes everything.
SUPPRESSOR OPTIMIZED
Like its 7mm Backcountry predecessor, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak’s velocity advantage makes it ideal for suppressors. You get the same noise reduction and velocity through shorter barrels that keep rifles light and maneuverable with the addition of a suppressor.
We were excited about the 7mm Backcountry, and we're equally excited about this new chambering using the Peak Alloy technology.
Bullets that will be offered include:
Terminal Ascent: 130 grain
Fusion Tipped: 155 grain
And coming soon - Gold Medal Sierra Tipped MatchKing, Barnes LRX, and Berger Elite Hunter.
