Fall Elk Hunting buddy brought out his new Weatherby 6.5 RPM. The weight of this thing is nuts. With scope it’s just over 7lbs. with 24” sporter barrel 1-8TR. The other thing I admire is the bolt action. It’s 1/2 the cycle height as a standard Rem700, Savage, Tikka, or Ruger.
He’s got it topped with a Leupold 4.5-10 (I believe). He bought 1 box of Barnes 127 TSX to get baseline information. It’s running roughly 3140FPS. He’s tasked me to load 125HHT’s for the fall.
He’s planning on using a 300 yard zero. He spent about 5-6 rounds to dial in the scope at 100 yards. Recoil is non-existent but he’s running a break designed for a future suppressor. Shot 2 rounds at 200 to fine tune the scope. Took a shot at 250. High middle shot on steel below. Then went out to 300 yards. 2 shots stacked on top of each other. He was shooting unsupported on top of a 4 wheeler with his mountain backpack - per my suggestion.
Really curious how fast and accurate the 125 HHT’s will do. Stay tuned.
