I use the Hornady ELDX 110 grain bullet. My handloads are a bit hotter than the Hornady Precision Hunter loads they sell.

Both my brother in law and I have killed whitetail, Mulies, and moose with that bullet. We are in Saskatchewan and shots are longer but the closest shot with the caliber for us was a large whitetail buck at hundred or so yards.

 A little meat damage at entry point and bullet made it to other side of animal. A bit of separation but not too bad. At our normal two hundred yard plus shots the bullet does awesome.

I recommend them.

I got an email reply from RCBS

This is great news. I know for me personally, knowing dies and brass will be available will be a huge factor if I would go down the RPM route.

Looking forward to seeing the brass come out!  And a Hornady 143 grain ELDX factory load .... hint to Weatherby! 

Congrats my friend!  Great looking rifle!  I have a LazerGuard in 257 Wby and love it. Took my mule and WT deer with it this season.

Wishing you many years of enjoyment ans success with that snazzy rifle. Let us know how she shoots.

Hey all!

Just wondering if anyone in the Nation has bought a new Accumark Elite yet?  If so any thoughts or feedback on it?  I am considering one for a primarily target rifle role and maybe some hunting and so far was thinking in 6.5 Creedmoor. (Yeah ... might jump on that bandwagon after all). That said, and because I am a true blue Weatherby fanboy .... I am thinking I might want to explore the new Weatherby 6.5 RPM. My problem is I am in Canada and traditional Weatherby calibers are very tough to find here nevermind those that are less common (for example 7mm or 6.5-300) so I worry about ammo availability and since I reload most of my ammo finding brass and dies.  Anyone in Canada or the USA seen any 6.5 RPM dies or brass yet .... and if so where. 

Thanks for any info you may have! 

I could live with a 210 Nosler as well ......

They may need to change the state motto to .... "the manufacturing state" if this keeps up.  This is great news! 

I hunt in Canada in an environment that runs the gambit from dry and hot to freezing and moist.  Wind, snow, rain etc.  I have never noticed any of my wood stocked rifles change their POI, at least to any appreciable degree in a normal 10 day hunt or so. That would include hiking all day in the elements and bringing in the rifle at the evening in a cabin or tent.  Never had a missed shot that I would attribute to that being the cause ( more just my lousy aim!) 

 I am a fan of wood stocks and have several (5) but I also have a couple Synthetic stocked rifles ( for example an Accumark in 7mm) and I don't see a difference with durability or POI shifts between the two.

I kind of see this as people just liked the new Synthetic thing years ago and justified the new stocks as being so superior to justify the purchase of cool new rifles. I am good with that (each to their own) but I still don't think that all of a sudden a good piece of walnut or even maple is not up to the task despite being so effective in the past both hunting and in rifles used in the military.

I would also suggest wood stocks are making a limited but steady comeback. My prediction .... Soon people will be spouting all kinds of positives on the "new style" wood stocks out there! 😉
