But beyond its utility-or lack thereof-this new cartridge is pure Weatherby.


Yes, it will burn great handfuls of powder, and go through expensive brass at a brisk rate. Given that the ammo is not cheap ($95 for a box of 20), handloading the 6.5-300 is worth considering, especially in light of the plethora of great long and sleek 6.5mm bullets out there to experiment with. (Like that of most other gun companies, Weatherby’s accuracy guarantee is based on more forgiving 3-shot groups.) The 140-grain Swift A-Frames average group size was 1.174 inches, while the 130-grain Scirocco’s were 1.550 inches. The 127-grain Barnes LRX load did the best, turning in sub-MOA 5-shot groups, averaging. I shot all three factory loads Weatherby is offering. All are good hunting bullets, and at these velocities are as flat-shooting as you could hope for.Īccuracy with the rifle was quite good. When returning an item, please add package tracking and adequate insurance.Weatherby is initially offering three factory loads: the 127-grain Barnes LRX at 3,531 fps (pictured) the 130-grain Swift Scirocco at 3,475 fps and the 140-grain Swift A-Frame at 3,395 fps.
