Federal is Launching 6.5 Creedmoor + Peak Ammunition - 80,000 PSI !

[Leec6.5]

I just can’t get my head around why?

It just baffles me why you would want to push a bullet that hard?

Been there. Handloads. Speciality brass. PRC loads in a CM. Whoop de doo. Lots of care and a bit of stupidity.

Went back to a 120gr at 3000fps. A bit extra steam from the Saami++ loads but so what? As the old teuchter stalker said ‘maist o’ it gauns in the heather’

No free lunch and I preferred the full loaded CM with low recoil to the barking pseudo PRC. Pays your money…

What influence will high pressure loads have on felt recoil and noise?

 

[Ronin]

Recoil likely will increase (physics)

Noise also - more powder, larger boom

Users may not hear that though due to CNS shut down ,,,,

What influence will high pressure loads have on felt recoil and noise?

It’s a linear relationship. More powder equals more pressure which equals more recoil. A typical 6.5 PRC round using 120grain bullets will produce 14-16 joules of recoil energy, according to Gordon’s Reloading Tool, while a ‘fast’ load (<3000fps) will be be upwards of 17 joules. As for noise, it’s hard to say: loud is loud!
