I'm shooting a standard Mark V in 6.5 RPM. It's a solid caliber, ammo can be expensive, but since it's still pretty uncommon there isn't a crazy demand in my area. Keep an eye out at sportsman's wh. I've found the wby-branded silver box shoots as well if not better than the gold box
Are you only shooting factory and if so which bullet are you liking

Anything .264 is pretty unexciting to me but where the RPM gets my juices flowing a bit is the upsizing options. For a guy sitting on a standard bolt face action but wants some magnum gas tank offerings this case is a great option. Size it up to a .284 and roll.
Probably make for a pretty badazz standard bolt face 270 build slinging the 170 Berger's too. :tup:
My only concern would be how long the brass would last. In the past Norma has made a lot of Weatherby's brass and though it's good quality Norma isn't really known for being tough like Lapua, ADG, or Alpha so when it's pushed it tends to give up primer pockets a little sooner.

I always hear those rumors too about norma but I'm on firing number 12 on my 300 wsm and still going strong. Until peterson 28 nosler I was necking up norma 26 nosler brass as well with no issues. Size properly, anneal, and I'd bet a lot of money I'd get 10 on the rpm :twocents:
I've only had issues with Norma when standing on the gas in some small cartridges I've yet to loose a single primer pocket in my 7mm Blaser mag and I'm sending 180 Berger's 3100 from a 26in tube. Not a redline load but it's definitely up there. Sometimes tough brass like Lapua, for some, can be tough to a fault because they'll keep standing on it till they lose primer pockets and when you start losing primer pockets in Lapua brass you're wayyyyyyyyyyy over pressure.
