NEW 6.5 BACKCOUNTRY! (6.5 Creedmoor +PEAK)
from Backcountry Hunting Podcast
BIG NEWS! Federal has just announced the new "6.5 BACKCOUNTRY" cartridge... or put more correctly, the 6.5 Creedmoor with "+ PEAK" alloy technology. We tested the inagural 130-grain Terminal Ascent load in three different rifles with barrels of 24, 20, and 17 inches to see if the new load deserves the hype. Listen in—this is a very cool new development! ENJOY! FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!
