Weatherby Select 6.5 WBY RPM 140gr Hornady Interlock

Weatherby Select 6.5 WBY RPM Ammunition

Weatherbys Select ammunition line represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded performance, combining ballistic superiority with practical value. This 6.5 WBY RPM loading showcases the cartridge's innovative design philosophy.

The Cartridge

The 6.5 WBY RPM represents a departure from Weatherby's traditional belted magnum designs. Instead of the double-radius shoulder and belt found in classic Weatherby cartridges, the RPM employs a rebated rim design. This engineering choice delivers several advantages:

• Lightweight Action Compatibility: Optimized for Weatherby's 6-lug standard action, enabling sub-five-pound rifle builds
• Velocity and Energy: The rebated rim design achieves the desired ballistic performance while maintaining compact dimensions
• Practical Performance: Delivers genuine downrange capability without excessive recoil or complexity

The Load

This ammunition pairs the 6.5 WBY RPM case with Hornady's proven Interlock bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2975 fps. The Interlock design features a mechanical locking ring that keeps the core and jacket together during expansion, ensuring consistent performance on game and targets alike.
