Weatherby 6.5 Weatherby RPM 124gr Hammer Custom is a 20-round box of rifle ammunition for rifles chambered in 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Weatherby part no. M65RPM124HCB). The 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) is based on a lengthened .284 Winchester case with a 35-degree shoulder that adds case capacity for higher velocities. The bullet is a Hammer Custom, turned on a CNC lathe from a solid copper blend, with each bullet weighed and micrometer measured as it is produced. Weatherby lists this 124-grain load at 3250 fps and 2908 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .478. It suits hunters who want factory-loaded ammunition built on this bullet rather than a handload.
