Anybody wildcatted this yet or heard of it being done? Seems like an easy way to breathe new life into an old -06 and reach WSM performance levels with a simple rechamber.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
If ADG or Peterson picked up the case, it'd be a done deal. It'd probably be the last bolt gun I ever built hahaalready have that and a 338 drawn up in quick design and quick load. should be able to keep up with the wsm or a little better depending on brass quality.
just waiting for brass to be available before pulling the trigger.
have not did the 7mm drawings but think 7 rem mag on a standard bolt faceI'm kind of interested in the 7mm rpm.
That's interesting since I have an extra 6 lug ultralightweight that needs a new barrel. Looking forward to playing with this one.have not did the 7mm drawings but think 7 rem mag on a standard bolt face
from what I hear it will be Hornady for factory ammo but this new Hornady stuff is pretty good, don't let that stop you lets wait and see what we get if it is anything like the PRC brass we will be alright.
Hornady for the brass. I should of worded that better and that is info from a member here on the original tread.Are you saying that Hornady will be making brass and loading ammo for the Weatherby RPM?

Idk......most brass from Hornady on standard case head hasn't been to most consistent or stout build. I will say their 300/6.5 prc brass is a step above the rest their offerings. Still has some neck thickness inconsistencies, but it's pretty tough stuff.I didn't realize that Hornady was going to be making brass for the RPM, that's an interesting twist.
