6.5 WEATHERBY REBATED PRECISION MAGNUM
Q: I am handloading for the 6.5 Weatherby Rebated Precision Magnum and using select data based on your handloads presented in your article in RIFLE magazine (March/April 2020). I am having trouble ejecting spent brass. I am hoping you can offer some insight into what I might be doing wrong. I am using factory once-fired cases, Nosler 140-grain AccuBond bullets and Alliant Reloder 25 powder with loads containing 62.0 to 66.0 grains. Any help that you can offer will be appreciated.

A: If you are having trouble ejecting spent brass, that is a mechanical problem with the rifle, not a problem with the ammunition. However, if you are having trouble extracting cases (sticky extraction) from the chamber, then you are probably experiencing high pressure. My maximum load for the 6.5 RPM using the 140-grain Nosler Partition bullet was 66.0 grains of Alliant Reloder 25 powder. This load was working fine in my rifle, as extraction was easy (or normal), and neither were there any signs of excess pressure.
