    I had a go with a Mark V ultralight 270 and it shot very well.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Cant remember if it was Luke,chap 3, verse 7, or Revelations..Anyway, apparently God uses a 6.5x55, for...... the long-shots. No mention of Weatherby

    Whilst I have no interest in this new cartridge, how much time have some of you spent with a MkV? I recently sold (as me and my mates interests have changed) a. 224wby, .300wby, .378 wby and .460wby (keeping the. 240wby) all MkVs, say what you will about the cartridges but the Bolt, fit and finish of the MkV is pretty damn good, I'm certainly not saying they're the best of the best, but they're anything but poorly balanced or unruly to hold. I get that it's subjective, but still.

    Does not appear to offer anything that multiple other cartridges don't already offer, but this will also probably have the downsides of rare & expensive brass & dies.
    Not a winner imo.
