The new 6.5 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) has been purpose built for Weatherby’s Mark V 6 lug action. This 15th Weatherby cartridge introduction is unique compared to its 14 preceding cartridges because it is a non-belted, non-venturi shoulder case with a rebated rim. Out of the gate Weatherby will be shipping three bullet offerings in the new cartridge: 140-grain Hornady Interlock/2,975 fps; Nosler 140-grain Accubond/3,075 fps; and Barnes 127-grain LRX/3,225 fps. MSRP: $2,499/Backcountry; $3,349/Backcountry Ti. Contact: www.weatherby.com
