Summary

In This Hour:

-- With the introduction of higer pressure and high velocity loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor, Federal changes the world of rifle shooting -- perhaps in ways we can hardly imagine. Josh Vickers runs down the new ammo, how it works, and hints at more to come.

-- Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, Field & Stream. What happened to the old outdoor magazines?

-- The higher velocity of Federal's new ammo allows the use of shorter barrels, which makes it more convenient to use suppressors.
