7 mm on the new weatherby 6.5 rpm

[Husky user]

It does not have quite the case capacity of a 7mm Rem Mag,but I think could get close!

Look it up
It is a rebated rim and fat like the 6.5x284 but long like the 280 case.

What do you think of the 6.5 WBY RPM ?

it shoots cleaner cooler quieter longer flatter and faster than the 6.5 grendel 6.5 creedless 264winny and the 6.5 prc. will it catch on bigtime? i just dont know...

That's just another thread. I don't see it being much more than the 280ai. If it is it's not enough to justify. I can buy good brass for several other 7's that will do the same thing. This being a weatherby case will likely never be picked up by a good brass company like lapua and that is super important to be personally.

Whether it's another thread or not, I think most of these LRH threads are pretty good.
You asked, "how much more" and that was a quick reference. The difference will vary a grain or 2 with different sources and different brands of brass. The point is they are not very close, you say in your opinion that it doesn't matter much, which I see no problem there but to another guy it would mean something if he wants more speed with a std. rim size, to each his own. Things are different these days, if alot of people like it, a brass company will pick it up.
But I have no dog in this, I like my 6.5 PRC and my 300WM, combined they do more for me than a single 7mm.

GIVEN THE 7 MM ON THIS ROUND HOW WOULD YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT A 14O THROUGH THE 180 GRAIN BULLETS WILL GO OUT OF A 26 INCH BARREL.

any one playing around with this.i think case capacity is near that of 7mm magnum but it would be for the 06 case head .any thoughts on that.

Maybe Weatherby comes out with a 7mm RPM? They could use a round that competes with the 7PRC.

Meanwhile, I need another 300 WM.

yes you are right it is the 6.5 RPM...given its case design and its capacity what would be the projected speeds on bullets in the 150 to 175 grain weights be in your opions?thanks for your imput.i think it would be a hell of a wildcat and no belt or magnum bolt face.

There is one grain of water difference between the rpm case and the 7mm rem so the difference would be the action that you can use. At least that's the way it looks to me
