Weatherby has traditionally designed and built ultra-high velocity cartridges with unique case designs-belted magnums with a double-radius shoulder. This is seen in all of the existing Weatherby cartridges until now. The Mark V 6 lug standard action has been one of Weatherby's best-kept secrets for years. The goal of the 6.5 Wby RPM was initially based around maximizing the potential of this great lightweight action. Setting out to produce the best backcountry rifle and cartridge combination ever, it was a project not taken lightly. The rebated rim helps achieve the desired velocity and energy while remaining compatible with 6 lug action. The 6.5 Wby RPM packs a punch and is capable of being chambered in Weatherby’s new sub-five-pound rifle, the Mark V Backcountry Ti. This combination offers maximum downrange performance in the lightest rifle possible. After years of development, the 6.5 Wby RPM combination achieves the weight savings, ballistic performance, and price that cannot be found in a rifle anywhere else.
