Weatherby Select 6.5 Weatherby RPM 140gr Hornady Interlock Ammo

The Weatherby Select 6.5 Weatherby RPM 140gr Hornady Interlock delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for hunters pursuing medium to large game. This premium factory ammunition combines Weatherby's precision loading standards with Hornady's proven Interlock bullet technology. Each round provides consistent velocities and reliable expansion across hunting distances.

What Makes This Different

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge achieves magnum-level performance in a standard-length action, generating higher velocities than traditional 6.5mm cartridges while maintaining manageable recoil. The 140-grain Hornady Interlock bullet features a raised ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion. This design ensures deep penetration and controlled expansion on game animals weighing 150-400 pounds.

Key Features

• 140-grain Hornady Interlock spitzer boat-tail bullet for optimal ballistic coefficient
• 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge delivers 3,075 fps muzzle velocity
• Mechanical core-jacket lock prevents bullet separation during expansion
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles, with the 140-grain bullet retaining sufficient energy for ethical kills on deer-sized game beyond 400 yards. The Interlock design expands reliably at impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making it suitable for both close-range timber hunting and open-country shots. Weather-resistant primer sealing and case mouth treatment ensure reliable ignition in adverse conditions.
