I just noticed this new (?) cartridge from Weatherby and was simply wondering if anyone has any experience with it?
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum
And they will have a 7x300 Wby, which has been a very popular round in some places for about 50 years.It's popular enough to spur Peterson to make brass for it
The 7mm STW boys will be happy, all they gotta do is neck it up to 7mm and fireform in chamber

Many people remember Roy Weatherby as the high priest of high velocity. He created new calibers that were the fastest on the market. Toward that end, he made a number of modifications to the traditional belted magnum casings of the day to achieve that goal.www.petersoncartridge.com

Ouch. I've also read similar things about the 30-378 aka "barrel burner" Recently had a re-barrel at Sheridan & they asked me if I wanted it re-chambered in a different caliber. Without considering the possible options I said no. (.300 Weatherby). Although after 15 weeks when I received it was barreled in .300 Win mag but that was undone after a total of 5 months. (2 different calibers on the same work order)300 shots and you'll be rebarreling..NOT A DAILY DRIVER BY A LONG SHOT....just too much powder for that bore
Really??!!?? I always used 8 Rem Mag brass if I couldn't find 7 STW brass. This is great news. Thanks for the info.It's popular enough to spur Peterson to make brass for it
