Anyone else notice weatherby low key just updated their twist for the 240 weatherby on some of their rifles? It’s supposed to be 1:7.5
That’s pretty cool, may be my next toy. Would really surpass the 6mm Creedmoor
They also updated some of the .243

It is tipped but its not a TMK. Different guts more explosive.

Obviously you have a direct line to them, do you have any insight as to why it wouldn’t be a TMK. I was sure hoping this would be the year we would see a heavy 6mm TMK. I’m feeling a bit let down.

I don't have a direct line with them. It's what they told me at the shot. If I had a direct line, there would be 120 TMKs

Wouldn’t that be way too fast? The 100 gr loads are around 3200 FPS, that’s an RPM over 307,000.

240wby 64g case capacity. It'll only be a 100-150fps faster than middle 6creed. Prc holds 68gr. There's only 175-200fps between my 20in prc and 20in creed. 7.5tw is perfect in my opinion.
