6.5 Needmoor ~ Federal +Peak

Nothing new, firearm, ammunition and reloading companies have long listed what ammunition may not be safe to fire in certain guns. High pressure 45/70, 45 Colt, +P9mm, etc etc all depend on the end user to verify that the ammunition is safe to fire in their firearm.

Same as some older shotguns and steel shot or high pressure shells.

I get what you're saying but the 6.5CM isn't a legacy cartridge.
 
I don't know where this information came from, but going from 1:5 to 1:7 is slowing down, not accelerating ie; 1:5 is 1 revolution every 5", 1:7 is 1 revolution every 7"
I mean, I thought I was pretty clear in that first line of my post….. but yeah, it came from the Outdoor Life podcast with John Snow….

I suppose I should have made that more clear, or the font bigger….? 1:500 twist rate to start. 6 degrees off of being straight down the barrel.
Then accelerating in twist rate until it exits the barrel at a 1:7 twist rate. Thats pretty quick. 1:500 is pretty slow. Borderline not being twisted at all even.

But thanks for explaining the difference between 1:5” and 1:7” to me. That info will come in handy when I spec my next 0.224” barrel in case I want to go a touch faster than my current crop of 1:7” tubes. 😉

My mistake I read it as 1:5 not 1:500
 
That's irrelevant. Companies like Buffalo Bore offer cautionary warnings in regards to firearm choice when it comes to their ammunition. I'm sure Federal lawyers are smart enough to figure the same thing out.
there is a large difference AND relevance...


WARNING: .45 COLT +P Ammunition is to be fired ONLY in Ruger Large Frame, Colt Anaconda, and Freedom Arms Revolvers, T/C, Winchester and Marlin 1894, all 1892 modern copies. NOT for use in the Small Frame Ruger Vaquero!"

Federal has no such warning
aka hidden disclosure ....so far.
Federal is doing the exact opposite. They are aggressively marketing the 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak line as perfectly drop-in safe for standard, everyday SAAMI-compliant hunting rifle chambers, entirely hiding the fact.

OPEN FULL DISCLOSURE
vs
HIDDEN look for hunt, find maybe Disclosure

I didn't know that they had already released this ammunition to consumers. Is there no warning label on the box of ammunition that you examined?

You really think a modern company with a legal department in the most litigious country on the planet is going to open themselves to unnecessary risk?
