[QUOTE="B23, post: 1706305, member: 13222"] Got off the phone with them a few minutes ago and this is what I was told. Case Capacity for 6.5 Wby RPM = 81gr H20 (approximately) Not really sure why they added the "approximately" but those are Weatherby's words not mine. Case length = 2.570 So it's longer than a 06 case and has a slight bit more case capacity than a 6.5 WSM but shoots 100-150fps slower than a 6.5 WSM. Not really sure what to make of their performance numbers, but if it really does have that kind of case capacity, it's not all that impressive, especially when compared to something like a 6.5-284 chambered in a long action will nearly mirror it and with a lot less case capacity.
