6.5 Weatherby RPM Test

$79.00$109.00

The 6.5 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) is based on the lengthened version of the .284 Winchester. The large body diameter, low body taper, and 35-degree shoulder mean that case capacity is greatly increased, leading to higher velocities.

Bullet Information

Barnes® LRX®

The Long-Range X Bullet (LRX) line is designed after the best-selling Tipped Triple-Shock X Bullet, the LRX bullet design increases Ballistic Coefficient values by increasing ogive and boat tail lengths to improve the bullets’ long-range ballistic performance. An all copper bullet with polymer tip that initiates expansion, causing the nose cavity to open instantly on contact doubling the bullet’s original diameter while creating four razor sharp cutting petals that wreak extensive internal damage and produce massive wound channels.

  • Common Reference – 6.5mm Caliber
  • Bullet Diameter – .264 (6.5mm)
  • Bullet Weight – 127 gr.
  • B/C (G1) – .468
  • Max Case Length – 2.57“

Hornady® InterLock®

The InterLock® features an exposed lead tip for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. A secant ogive design — one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed. The raised ring inside the jacket is embedded in the bullet, combined with the one-piece core, keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.

Swift Scirocco®

A bonded bullet with Swift’s signature black tips designed for hunting and long-range efficiency. Pure copper jacket is progressively tapered to control expansion development throughout a wide range of velocities. Jacket and core are joined together using proven Swift bonding technology. Long driving band for improved rotational stability. Its sleek design and advanced secant ogive nose profile allows for high ballistic coefficient that produce flat trajectories for downrange hunting, making it a perfect match for Weatherby Cartridges.

Hammer Custom

Hammer Bullets™ are turned on a CNC lathe and use a unique solid copper blend that is designed for maximum terminal performance. Each bullet is weighed and micrometer measured as it is produced. The result is an incredibly consistent product with unparalleled quality control. The hollow point design, initiates expansion upon impact, shedding petals immediately, with the remainder of the bullet staying intact with a blunt front for optimal wound channel. All Hammer Custom Bullets are designed to optimize Weatherby’s flat shooting cartridges.
