Description:
Guns Listing ID: 676744
Excellent Condition Weatherby Mark V with Green Speckled Stock and Tan Cerekote Barrel and action. Complete with a Hawke 3x9 Scope Chambered in 6.5 WBY RPM
The 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) is a high-velocity, lightweight magnum cartridge designed for backcountry hunting and long-range performance.
Overview
The 6.5 WBY RPM is based on a lengthened version of the .284 Winchester, featuring a large body diameter, low body taper, and a 35-degree shoulder, which significantly increases case capacity and allows for higher velocities. The \"RPM\" stands for Rebated Precision Magnum, indicating that the cartridge has a slightly smaller rim than the case body, enabling it to function in standard bolt faces while maximizing powder capacity. Introduced in 2019, it was specifically developed for Weatherby’s Mark V Backcountry rifles and the newer Model 307, focusing on a balance of power, weight savings, and manageable recoil.

Performance
The 6.5 RPM is capable of blistering velocities up to 3,200 feet per second, making it ideal for medium- to long-range hunting. Its flat trajectory and high downrange energy make it suitable for a variety of game, particularly in backcountry or mountainous terrain, where lightweight rifles and packability are critical. The cartridge delivers magnum-level performance without the heavier weight or recoil typical of larger Weatherby magnums.
