Yes, it will burn great handfuls of powder, and go through expensive brass at a brisk rate. Given that the ammo is not cheap ($95 for a box of 20), handloading the 6.5-300 is worth considering, especially in light of the plethora of great long and sleek 6.5mm bullets out there to experiment with. (Like that of most other gun companies, Weatherby’s accuracy guarantee is based on more forgiving 3-shot groups.) The 140-grain Swift A-Frames average group size was 1.174 inches, while the 130-grain Scirocco’s were 1.550 inches. The 127-grain Barnes LRX load did the best, turning in sub-MOA 5-shot groups, averaging. I shot all three factory loads Weatherby is offering. All are good hunting bullets, and at these velocities are as flat-shooting as you could hope for.Īccuracy with the rifle was quite good. Weatherby recommends the Mark V Accumark for hunting large game.Weatherby is initially offering three factory loads: the 127-grain Barnes LRX at 3,531 fps (pictured) the 130-grain Swift Scirocco at 3,475 fps and the 140-grain Swift A-Frame at 3,395 fps. Weatherby also strengthened the bolt body by milling it from a single piece of steel, so it can withstand more powerful cartridges. With more lugs, or wider lugs, the bolt requires a short 54-degree lift for full rotation and chambering. Weatherby’s Mark V’s bolt body is designed with six lugs (nine for magnums) that secures the bolt firmly into the receiver. Weatherby is notable for their bolt-action operating systems–a modified Model 54 action–which is an early 20th century design for centerfire cartridges. The Mark V also has a fluted barrel for reduced barrel weight. The Accumark is equipped with a cocking indicator that visually indicates whether the rifle is uncocked or cocked. It has a fluted bolt body that reduces surface area and weight. In addition, the Accumark has a fully adjustable trigger that is initially factory-tuned to 3.5 pounds. The Weatherby Mark V Accumark features a stainless steel barrel and receiver.
The Weatherby Mark V Accumark is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered for 15 cartridges.
