What is a 6.5 Weatherby Magnum?
http://www.mcwhorterrifles.com/WhatsNew.html For a long time there has been a gap between Our DEADLY ACCURATE "Pet" Calibers the 257 WBY and the 270 WBY, NOT ANY MORE! The 6.5mm Bullet (.264 diameter) has long been overlooked by hunters. It is one of the most aerodynamic calibers available with BC's well exceeding the .257 and .277 bullets.
