Weatherby Select Plus 6.5 RPM 127 Grain Barnes LRX Lead-Free Polymer Tip Ammo - 20 Rounds

Weatherby Select Plus 6.5 RPM ammunition pairs premium ballistics with a lead-free design—127-grain Barnes LRX polymer tip rounds built to perform in Weatherby's lightweight, high-velocity 6.5 RPM cartridge. If you've chambered a Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti or another 6.5 RPM rifle, this is ammunition engineered specifically for that platform: it delivers the downrange energy and accuracy Weatherby designed the cartridge to achieve, without the environmental concerns of traditional lead projectiles.

The 6.5 RPM itself is a relatively new Weatherby magnum optimized for the Mark V's 6-lug action—a rebated-rim belted case that maximizes velocity and energy while keeping rifle weight minimal. This Select Plus loading partners that case design with Barnes's LRX copper construction, favored by hunters who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. The 127-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity and hitting power in a round that's purpose-built for backcountry elk and longer-range hunting in rough country.

Twenty rounds per box gives you enough to sight in a lightweight hunting rifle, run a short shooting session at the range, or stock a hunting trip where every ounce matters. If you're already invested in the 6.5 RPM platform, Select Plus ammunition removes guesswork: it's loaded to Weatherby's specifications and tested to perform in rifles chambered for this cartridge. For hunters who chose the 6.5 RPM for its flat trajectory and lightweight rifle pairing, this is the logical ammunition choice.
