    New cartridge from weatherby: 6.5 RPM

    https://www.longrangehunting.com/thr...tridge.225060/

    Weatherby is going to release a new cartridge in September: the 6.5 rpm . It seems a kind of 6.5-284 with a longer body.

    The rifle Weatherby is releasing to go with it sounds bloody nice.

    Itll be heavy, unbalanced, inaccurate and have a shit bolt.

    Titanium mark V 6 lugs action, so the smaller diameter Action.
    Lightweight barrel.
    So heavy and unbalanced certainly not.
    What would be great is if they could change the design of their stock to something more kimberish .
    They dared changing their cartridge shoulder for that one, so why not their stock shape.
    It will probably be pricey.

    Weatherby’s dead isn’t he?

    Wait for it.....
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    @Friwi, I suspect that cartridge will be renamed shortly.

    The correct name is 6.5 UTB (Ultimate Throat Burner)

    Well the 6.5-300 weatherby is going to hold that title for a while I think

    Obviously never used a MkV. Ugly stocks but light and accurate and function very well

    Weatherbys and Rugers send chills up my spine.

    I've got a Wby vanguard 2, it's not the lightest rifle in the world but it shoots well.
    Every machine is a smoke machine,
    If you use it wrong enough.

    I hear you on the Rugers.

    Back in the day I had probably 4 - M77 actioned Rugers that all required gunsmithing to fix issues right out of the box. Oval chambers ( fired bullets couldn't be pushed back into chamber without rotating them them get to fit (x2) re-crowns (x2). Never was 100% confident with ruger bolt-actions.
    Now the two Ruger No1's I owned I rue the day I sold them.
    One of the M77's had the tighest barrel to action fit the gunsmith had encountered so much so he wanted me there to witness them taking it off perchance it broke and I thought it was their heavy-handiness.

    It turned out the threads were so loose in fact that the locktite or whatever they used to "glue" it together was really all that was holding the barrel in aligement / mis-alignment.

    Never had any of those issues with my 15+ Remingtons in various models. All they nneded was glass-bedding.
