A box of Federal 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak Terminal Ascent ammo and two loose cartridges in front of a rifle.Federal’s new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is supercharging the 6.5 Creedmoor with the company’s Peak Alloy Case Technology.Changing a single component of a cartridge can make a massive difference. We saw this at the end of the 19th century with the advent of smokeless powder. By simply loading existing cartridges with that instead of the old, low-efficiency black powder, their performance was massively improved overnight. Federal has just done something similar, but with case technology instead of powder.Federal’s Peak Alloy Case Technology was first introduced to the world with the 7mm Backcountry. While the new cartridge was a massive success and instantly exploded in popularity, its one drawback was that it required new rifles to shoot it. But, it sent a clear message to anyone paying attention: improved case material can allow for the loading of cartridges to higher pressures, and that means more performance. So, Federal has just used that technology to supercharge the well-loved 6.5 Creedmoor with the new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak. The best part? It doesn’t require new guns. Just about any old, standard 6.5 Creedmoor rifle can shoot 6.5…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Carolina Hurricanes have evened up the Stanley Cup Final in thrilling fashion, coming back from down 2-0 to win in overtime, 4-3.It was Seth Jarvis, who has been criticized for not having his usual production in the playoffs, hammering home a power-play one-timer to send the crowd into a frenzy as the Hurricanes salvaged a home game before heading on the road.  This game looked like another chapter in Brett Howden’s surprising playoff run. The Golden Knights forward scored just 12 goals during the regular season, but his two-goal performance in this contest brought his postseason total to 13. He is in clear contention for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs. His first goal of this game was from a nifty Mitch Marner floater down ice. It’s unknown if he was trying to find Howden on the other end, or just clearing his own zone, but it worked out as Howden settled the puck and was quick to snap a wrister past Frederik Anderson.Then, just after a power play ended for Vegas, Ivan Barbashev, who scored in Game 1’s victory, found Howden streaking toward the…

The case has drawn national attention and intense public scrutiny since the fatal encounter.Texas defense attorney and legal analyst Jeremy Rosenthal told Fox News Digital that the first day of testimony highlighted the central battle jurors will have to resolve — whether Anthony’s actions were criminal or legally justified as self-defense.”The defense is accepting part of the burden here because if they want the jury instructed on self-defense, they have to prove up that split-second statement,” Rosenthal said.KARMELO ANTHONY TRIAL IGNITES RIVAL CAMPS THAT THREATEN TO GET IN JURORS’ HEADS IN TRACK MEET STABBING: EXPERT Rosenthal also noted that opening statements can have an outsized impact on jurors.”Eighty percent of jurors make up their mind at opening statement and they never change it,” he said, citing trial advocacy…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Secretary of State Marco Rubio put U.S. organizations on notice: they can no longer do business with a key Cuban organization that has spent over six decades since the launch of Fidel Castro’s communist revolution in 1959, cultivating relationships with U.S. activists and groups, many of them now funded by communist American tycoon Neville Roy Singham.The sanctions target the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, known by its Spanish acronym ICAP, an organization founded by Castro in 1960 to spread Marxist ideology and support for Cuba. Long ago, U.S. officials and intelligence assessments concluded ICAP is a key component of Cuba’s intelligence apparatus.”For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism,” Rubio said. “The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond.”REVOLUTIONARY TOURISM: INSIDE THE $600M MARRIAGE OF DARK MONEY AND FAR-LEFT AGITPROP Earlier this year, ICAP worked with U.S. nonprofits, including the People’s Forum, Progressive International and CodePink — to organize a March “convoy” that included controversial Marxist streamer Hasan Piker landing in Cuba to support Cuba’s communist party.The trip has since attracted federal scrutiny, with CodePink…

Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer in the world, and rapidly heading towards all-time greatness. But even the best of the best have their days. Thursday was one of them for the world No. 1.Scheffler’s 2026 season, while hardly disastrous, has yet to reach the heights of his previous two years. In 2024, it seemed like he won every time he started, bringing home The Players, The Masters, the Memorial Tournament, the Tour Championship, and of course, Olympic gold.He followed that up in 2025 by winning two majors, the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.While he won his first start in 2026, The American Express in Palm Springs, his results since have been a frustrating mix of top-5s and near misses. He was T3 at the WM Phoenix Open. T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Finished a solo second at The Masters by shooting 65-68 on the weekend. Lost in a playoff at the RBC Heritage, then finished second at the Cadillac Championship. While he was squarely in the mix at the PGA Championship, his 71-71 on Friday and Saturday meant he fell short of defending his 2025 win. He then followed that…
