Federal's 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak uses a one-piece Peak Alloy case rated to 80,000 psi to push 6.5 Creedmoor about 300 fps faster, and it chambers in existing 6.5 Creedmoor rifles.
Why it matters
You get 6.5 PRC-beating velocity without buying a new rifle. That's especially useful for short, suppressed hunting builds.
