6.5 RPM what is it good for?

Hello all,

Let me start by saying I'm a 6.5 Junkie I love the .264 diameter bullets but I don't know anything about this cartridge so I'd love to learn about it

What's any new cartridge good for?
+200-250 over the 65CM
+100-150 over the 65PRC
So if speed is your game (definitely a game Weatherby likes to play) then you have your answer.

I think it also really finds its niche in weatherbys ultralight type rifles. It's a less "beefy" bolt and bolt face and receiver than the full size belted magnums

For the folks that this matters, it is a beltless case with a .473 bolt face and .284 body shape and size. The case capacity is 84 grains so it's about 2 grains more than the .264 Win. Mag. The OAL is listed as being 3.340" which is a standard magazine length.
