[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1876872, member: 54178"] Guys, according to YouTube replies I got from Weatherby it was about making a magnum 6.5 cartridge that [I]would fit the bolt face of their existing Mark V action. [/I]That bolt is narrow and light and they wanted a light mountain rifle. Given that the 6.5 RPM makes sense, manageable recoil but very high velocities & energy. This move, coupled with their move to Sheridan, Wyoming, and using a "standard" straight comb and carbon fiber stock shows the new direction of Weatherby is "not your grandfather's Weatherby". Also no Weatherby style radiused neck and shoulder angles on the new cartridge. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
