Looking to buy some 6.5 Weatherby RPM ammo. Let me know if you have some you are willing to part with.

Did it get scarce? I've only ever handloaded for mine.

I keep my name in the waiting list for once fired brass from the Weatherby test range in Sheridan.
About 5% of it goes into the melt bucket due to over pressure indications. At the price, 5% loss is a deal.

Seems that there are multiple offerings with a quick web search!

 

[CoHunter1991]

Not bad. No I’m just hoping to save a few bucks if some people have a few boxes lying around.

I can respect that at the current prices! New rifle?

 

[CoHunter1991]

Yep, well at least new to me. Always loved the look of the first gen Mark V backcountry. Pick one up used on GB for 1k

Nice score! Weatherby has a posting regarding the recoil pad on the 1st gen rifles that you might find informative. Good luck with the new rifle.

Oh yeah came across that when I was dreamin one day. Gotta store it upside down.

Do you have the link to that? I'm not finding it.

 

[CoHunter1991]

I’ll see if I can find it again. It’s probably been a year or more since read it

NBD - I keep everything in the safe muzzle down. I gather that is the gist of it?

 

[CoHunter1991]

Yes it is. If you do muzzle up the pad will compress permanently
