CZ 452, 457 shoot great! I have 4 of them.
Will Federal's new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak ammo make the 6.5 Creedmoor a legitimate elk cartridge?

Have sometimes wondered if those preparations for the siege, that included 1,000's of rounds of ammunition have factored in a reliable piece of earthmoving equipment ( 580 Case, Cat dozer, or a Deere excavator) to deal with carcasses? Those smells going out to the mailboxes, she's gonna be ruff otherwise.
They are all factory so far that I have seen in the videos and that is correct about loading my own for 200+ fps extra.....so what would entice any loader to buy PEAK... nothing. And the PEAK 6.5 is only in 130 gr....best result I've seen is 3058 in the videos.. .. has anyone seen something different yet...id be interested as I can get 2953shooting a 130 gr Nosler without going over max book load... where's the PEAK performance now ??? Just me asking...and yes...I won't try them and no I won't buy them....best of luck to all that do....I just want to point out that the hype isn't ACCURATE.

Yeah, they're kissing and making up.
We've got that covered.
Besides the equipment to bury, we have two large invesel composters, and a dehydrator caple of handing even more.
I told a pretty little neighbor that was getting ready to remarry; if he doesn't treat you right, I can dispose of the body.
I just want to point out, not all of us are hand loaders, and you don't know if the hype is accurate or not, because THEY aren't available for purchase yet. Lastly, last time I checked 3058 is higher than 2953, by about 100 FPS. So, you do you, and I'll do me.
I guess the bigger question is, why are you so invested in what ammo, I DECIDE TO PURCHASE and utilize.
Do what you wish, no one is denying you the opportunity. AGAIN, we're back to dudes screaming at the sky and they'll never use this ammo under any circumstances, and castigating those of us believing it's interesting new technology and excited about possibilities.

You have taken up this crusade and keep following and make more comments. You have made it a personal insult and you are personally offended by anything said that can trigger your feelings. The best way to get over this is to grow up rather than trying to pick thru comments that offend you. Just out of curiosity, but are you a liberal?
JVB was getting 3150 with 130 Terminal Ascents.
That is patently false. I simply questioned why so many are attacking a cartridge that isn't even available for sale yet. I've done nothing but point out the animosity for a cartridge that has yet to be introduced to the public. If you don't like my astute, accurate observations, you are free to block me. I've not attacked anyone, simply pointed out how ridiculous it was for all the energy invested, disparaging a cartridge THEY WON'T USE under any circumstance.
And trust me, buddy, I'm the farthest thing ever from a liberal. It's laughable for you to even suggest that nonsense! I think you and I are done, pal.

How about we use this perspective: if you own a 6.5 creed, you now will have several choices - plain creed and Peak creed. You can choose to handload or buy plain creed or buy factory Peak with likelihood of a reloading option in the near future. I don't see why all the invested emotions in this development.
For me, I'll likely take advantage of the Peak version and use it as my elk gun/cartridge. I've been a fan of 6.5 caliber for many years. My family has used 6.5x55 for alotta years. Those long torpedo bullets penetrate out of proportion to their caliber. Those long bullets can also come in flavors with significantly higher BC. Combined with newer bullet technologies - compared to the 6.5x55 advent - make the Peak a step up. The Peak is also capable of being housed in a SA lightweight rifle AND has a tolerable level of recoil is said package. WTH is not to like?

You stated pretty eloquently what I've been saying all along.
Why all the animosity for an exciting new technology with such potentially positive possibilities? A cartridge all most no one has even had a chance to experiment with yet. Astonishing!
