[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1757419, member: 56839"] I believe the reason weatherby made this round was for use of their 6 lug action. Their magnum rounds all require the 9 lug action which adds a bit of weight. I have the 6.5-300 which is a screamer and very accurate. I would not want to lug that on a mountain side. With the 6.5 rpm you can get a light weight 6 lug action in a 6.5 cartridge that outruns most all 6.5s less the 6.5-300 and some wildcats. Although the bolt face can use standard 30-06 this cartridge is rebated, so the case itself is huge. [/QUOTE]
