NEW 6.5 BACKCOUNTRY! (6.5 Creedmoor +PEAK)
About this episode
The episode discusses the new 6.5 BACKCOUNTRY cartridge and its performance in various rifles.
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.
