Description
Introduced in 2022, the .338 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) was developed to deliver magnum-class ballistics from a lightweight Mark V 6-lug action. The cartridge is based on the 6.5 RPM necked up to accept a .338-caliber projectile and is intended to provide high performance for backcountry big-game hunting applications. The case features a large body diameter, low body taper and a 35-degree shoulder to increase powder capacity and velocity. This Weatherby Select Plus load pairs the .338 RPM with a 225 gr Barnes TTSX projectile for controlled expansion and consistency.
