Fall Elk Hunting buddy brought out his new Weatherby 6.5 RPM. The weight of this thing is nuts. With scope it's just over 7lbs. with 24" sporter barrel 1-8TR. The other thing I admire is the bolt action. It's 1/2 the cycle height as a standard Rem700, Savage, Tikka, or Ruger.
He's got it topped with a Leupold 4.5-10 (I believe). He bought 1 box of Barnes 127 TSX to get baseline information. It's running roughly 3140FPS. He's tasked me to load new Hammer 125HHT's for the fall.
He's planning on using a 300 yard zero. He spent about 5-6 rounds to dial in the scope at 100 yards. Recoil is non-existent but he's running a break designed for a future suppressor. Shot 2 rounds at 200 to fine tune the scope. Took a shot at 250. High middle shot on steel below. Then went out to 300 yards. 2 shots stacked on top of each other. He was shooting unsupported on top of a 4 wheeler with his mountain backpack - per my suggestion.
He's really jazzed about this set up. Gotta say I'm envious of its weight and accuracy.
Really curious how fast and accurate the 125 HHT's will do. Stay tuned.
