Weatherby has partnered with Outdoor Women Unlimited (OWU) and its official publication, BLAZE Magazine, to give away a WBY-X Blaze rifle to a current OWU member.
Weatherby will deliver its first new cartridge in nearly 20 years in 2016, with the introduction of the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. The impending release is already being hailed as the fastest 6.5mm production cartridge in the world.
Many a Weatherby caliber has been celebrated, maligned and at times surpassed. But none can be called insufficient for the job. Today, 71 years after the company’s founding, with the introduction of the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, the company again claims the high ground.
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.
