Weatherby just announced the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. To debut in 2016. It's in Sporting Classics Daily.

They have a 257 now, seems an odd addition. But I do like 6.5mm.

I wonder if the new 6.5s are just a fad, or if the increased interest in long range shooting has increased awareness of wind drift.
Oh, and someone tell Remington to make a LH 6.5 RSAUM Model Seven already. |

Some 6.5s will survive. Others, probably not.
Not sure about the weatherby. |

Like with other Weatherby calibers, the Weatherby name will carry the caliber. Even if the shells performance doesn't make sense for the price.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Not many actually go away, Weatherbys usually survive after they've hit the market. It is definitely a flat trajectory barnburner (and barrel burner)…
Maybe if the barrels get clad with a tantalum alloy… would increase life 5-10 times… Probably not cost effective, but then not much about Weatherby stuff is… you don't buy cost effectiveness with Weatherby.

Yeah, I'm on their mailing list too! Most of their stuff comes off the belted 404 Jeffrey case if memory serves me. That thing has got to be a barrel burner! Dang I want one!

I think I may want one…
$90.00 per box for Weatherby ammo would be cheap...

I have some 300 Weatherby Mag brass I could convert. I have guys at work that give me their brass. I reload some for them, others don't want it!
Gotta love folks that think it cheaper to just buy new all the time! |

It might be cheaper to buy new, if you have to neck down a whole pound of powder per cartridge!

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

No problem - lots of US 869 and a 140 grain bullet! I will struggle on with my 6.5-06(s), like I have been doing since 1966 but now I use H1000. US 869 is easier to buy than H1000 - life is tough. I drive a Honda. |

Might have to check that out. I've been playing with a 257 wby for a couple of years now. Maybe time to step up a bit. Anyone seen any specs on this cartridge yet? |

Wow. Could be interesting. Maybe each rifle comes with an extra barrel...
