Consider this guy in a short action, stretch it out to 30-06 length cartridge, and neck it down to 6.5, and you have the 6.5 rpm, which was the predecessor that came out before the 338. So essentially, all they did was neck this up to 33 caliber. It takes a 0.338-inch diameter bullet. It's got the same powder capacity. And what it does, is it allows us to be chambered in a small receiver-size bold action rifle. And Weatherby is making those rifles in various types and sizes as light as five pounds. Obviously, they are catering to wilderness hunters. Guys who like to backpack or horse ride back deep into the wilderness for elk, moose, sheep, and bears. And a lot of sheep hunters, like a bigger bullet and a bigger cartridge, because of the bears they might run into. It's not so much they need it for the sheep.

Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years, I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, become an integral part of our ecosystem, and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see and survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish, or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.
