Weatherby Accumark Limited 6.5 Wby RPM

[JD338]

Shot the 6.5 Wby RPM with the 140 gr BT and looks like another winner with decent speed and great accuracy at .330".

Some great loads JD, maybe you could do some bullet testing on the hogs when you're down south.

 

[RL338]

Nicely done.
Could have tried a temp stable test , set 3 outside for 10 minutes and checked the velocity. Whopping 2 degrees here today again.

That looks like a great load, Jim. Nice shooting.

I realized today that I am temp sensitive. I walked out of the heated barn into 10°f and 10 mph winds.

I'll give the 140 gr BT a try on some crop damage deer this summer.
For the TX hogs, I'm thinking about using the 142 gr ABLR.

if you recover a ABLR , please post a pic of it . I've not recovered one yet . at this velocity , a hog should be a good test for the bullet .

Looks like you have another winner.

The TX hog hunt was a lot of fun. I used the 140 gr SB in the 6.5 RPM to take 2 hogs. Both were DRT with double lung shots on quartering away shots. I recovered both bullets.

Great looking rifle.

 

[jimbires]

that bullet looks to have held together well . about what velocity are you getting ? both of these rifles look great . congrats on a productive hunt .

 

[NYDAN]

Excellent performance.

I’m getting 3040 fps with the 140 gr Solid Base.

What was the hog's range at impact? Sorry if I missed it in an earlier response...

The longest shot I have seen is right over 100 yards, at that ranch, in the last 4 years or so. Typically, under 75 yards.

 

[JD338]

The first hog was about 50 yards and the second one was about 60 yards.

That's great projectile performance with respect to the velocity.
