posted on August 15, 2016

Roy Weatherby built the company that bears his name on the premise that speed trumps weight when it comes to harvesting game quickly and humanely. Weatherby Magnum cartridges have invariably started as wildcat loads designed to outpace the competition in the most popular hunting calibers. Over 70 years later, the company is sticking to its guns with the release of what is the fastest production 6.5-caliber cartridge, the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach.
