6.5 RPM | Long Range Hunting Forum – Expert Gear Reviews

6.5 RPM load data - Long Range Hunting Forum
Dec 29, 2020 · Been working on a load for the new rifle. Factory ammo left a lot to be desired in the 127 LRX loads (2980-3040's with three different lot numbers vs factory 3225 spec).

What do you think of the 6.5 WBY RPM - Long Range Hunting …
Oct 18, 2019 · Rebated Precision Magnum , heck of a name isn't it ? Cool part about it (or maybe downside), is it uses the .473" bolt face, and can be built on about any long action. Also utilizes the 3.34" COAL. IMO I think the 6.5/.264" class is too "busy" right now. I …

What do you think of the 6.5 WBY RPM - Long Range Hunting …
Apr 13, 2020 · So think of a 6.5 Wby. RPM as a "magnum 6.5 PRC" (which is often called a "magnum 6.5 Creedmoor") The 6.5 RPM is not as ridiculously big as the .26 Nosler or the 6.5/300 Wby.

Mar 6, 2017 · My Weatherby knowledge is very limited so can't help much there. If I had to choose between the two cartridges you mentioned, I'd go with a 6.5 RPM, but given any 6.5 choice, a 6.5x284 or 6.5 PRC would go ahead of them and dare I …
