The best yet
I won a weatherby of this caliber and just could not get a reload good enough. So I tried these. One shot to zero and to more in the same hole at 100 yards. Took a good buck last season and this ammo dropped him. This stuff is expensive but well worth it.
The Weatherby 6.5 Weatherby RPM Select Plus 127gr Barnes LRX Lead Free Ammo is a high-performance rifle cartridge designed for maximum downrange performance. It features a 127 grain Barnes LRX (Long Range X) bullet, which is lead-free and engineered for superior long-range accuracy and terminal performance. This ammunition achieves an impressive muzzle velocity of 3225 fps, delivering 2933 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. The 6.5 WBY RPM cartridge is specifically designed to maximize the potential of Weatherby's lightweight Mark V 6 lug standard action, offering an optimal balance of velocity, energy, and compatibility with Weatherby's sub-five-pound rifles like the Mark V Backcountry Ti.
