New Weatherby Cartridge

[TheViking]

Any ideas? Inside info? Guesses?

 

[BishBeCool]

No clue

 

[Scoutfan]

30rpm?

 

[TheViking]

I think it’ll be a 6 or 22 caliber.

 

[BishBeCool]

.17 wby mag

 

[Jon C]

25 rpm or 220 rocket

Hopefully not something unnecessary that nobody asked for. Seems to be alot of that going on lately.

My only guesses are- it will be extremely overbore, expensive 70-100 a box, and forgotten about in a year.

Just when I was thinking we don’t have enough cartridge options and debates!

Comments on their instagram post are suggesting a 25 RPM, filling the gap of a 25 PRC like cartridge

If I had to guess 6 RPM, or something with using different case material like the 7BC.

If it was a straight neck down that’s functionally a 25-7 PRC.

 

[ReaptheHeat]

Guessing 25 or 7 RPM.

Guessing 257rpm
Someone posted a new 25 cal cartridge coming out online. Looked like a long action with rebated rim. Pretty much exactly a 257 RPM

 

[TaperPin]

This is a good year for 25 cal. The 6mm cartridges are already over populated.

 

[eLightfoot]

Pretty much confirmed

 

[TaperPin]

The rpm case volume puts it pretty close to the 257 Wby

I am a fan of the rpm line of a cartridges and would be all over this one if it was a 257rpm or around there.

I’m also a 6.5RPM fan and a 25RPM would be awesome. Great potential ballistics like .257 wby mag but out of their lighter 6 lug action. Count me in.

Soo….. 25-06 AI 1-8 twist or a 25 PRC would be its twin and it would have way more available/affordable brass options. Weatherby’s proprietary cartridges just never have excited me much when you can find ballistic twins to every single one of them in the standard or wildcat world with multiple manufacturers of brass and availability for years to come. If weatherby ever goes tits up, there is going to be a lot of rifle owners up the creek without a paddle, and they paid damn good money to put themselves in that position.
