Wby Ammo 6.5rpm 156gr Eol 20/200

Weatherby's 6.5 RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) ammunition delivers the velocity and precision you need for long-range hunting and target work. Built on a lengthened .284 Winchester platform, the 6.5 RPM combines a larger body diameter, minimal body taper, and a aggressive 35-degree shoulder to create substantially more case capacity than conventional 6.5mm cartridges. That extra capacity translates to the high velocities that make extended-range shooting and hunting flatter and faster. Each round pairs a 156-grain Berger Elite Hunter bullet with Weatherby's exacting handload standards, so you get consistent, reliable performance box after box.

The Berger Elite Hunter is engineered for precision at distance. Its design balances aerodynamics with terminal performance, making it a trusted choice for hunters who demand both long-range accuracy and ethical, controlled bullet expansion on game. Weatherby's attention to consistent brass preparation and primer seating means every shot behaves predictably—critical when you're stretching distance or hunting in variable conditions.

This is ammunition built for shooters who understand that velocity and precision aren't competing priorities. Whether you're dialing in a new rifle, practicing at the range, or preparing for a hunt where distance matters, the 6.5 RPM in 156-grain Elite Hunter configuration gives you the ballistics and consistency to shoot with confidence.
