Adam Weatherby's First Harvest with 6.5-300 Cartridge: Proving Grounds

- The mountains take ahold of you with their elements and they isolate you in their wild. The days are long and the nights are lonely, but when you're there, you can be no where else. Adam Weatherby was there to test himself. And a rifle. And a cartridge. These are the Proving Grounds.

I have been debating on which new rifle to buy. After watching this video my mind is made up. I will be buying a Weatherby and not purely based on performance. Simply because of the company's public acknowledgement of Jesus Christ. There are not many large companies left that will stand proud on their beliefs. Keep strong Weatherby. You have earned my business.

Makes me proud to own a Weatherby
Awesome rifles! Knowing god is not real I bought due to accuracy and reliability 👍
How is the religion of the company’s father relevant?
Thank you Weatherby Family, for being with us hunters for 3 generations, I'm so glad that in this world of poor quality and no traditions, you are a most valuable exception 👍 God bless
Beautifully written and composed. God Bless
I am glad to be a Weatherby owner! Plus after seeing this outstanding video and Roy’s grandson acknowledge Jesus Christ, I’m proud to be a Weatherby owner! GOD bless this family and Buisness!
He didn't acknowledge the Prophet Muhammad so I'm not buying one.
archerdog1 they dont need you!
@@MarktheSharkC I'm pretty sure they do, without consumers weatherby goes bankrupt. So he better start yelling praise Allah, or enjoy going out of business.
archerdog1 evidently not according to he video! He said Jesus Christ not some phony Prophet! Watch the video! If they have Jesus on their side, then I promise you they will make it and don’t need Allah or Muhammad! Sorry!!!
@@MarktheSharkC How many guns does Jesus buy a year? Hopefully enough to keep a whole company afloat.
I absolutely love this video! Not only does it say something about the company, but it also says something about those who run it! Thank you!
Amazing, tasteful hunting video, best I've seen! Makes a guy proud to buy / support Weatherby
Being a company who respects the hunt and hunting lifestyle, as well as the animals being hunted is commendable and respected by us who buy your product. Thank you and your company for being on the forefront of what being a hunter exemplifies. Well done young man well done indeed.
Thank you for moving to Wyoming. I am now buying a new Weatherby
This is an extremely well done piece. It certainly shows the heart of a man and the face of God. Thank you for allowing God to talk to you via his creation and then passing on those sentiments to the rest of us. I am older than your dad (I think) and have admired your grandfather for his pioneering spirit and product for many, many years. I own about 12 Weatherbys at present and unfortunately have sold a few through the years. This video only deepened my respect for your good company and the way yu seek to be cutting edge in the industry. Blessings to you, Adam.
Hello John Carroll, can I get your advice on the Weatherby. The round that is used in these rifles look like pretty hot rounds. Have you ever had to get a replacement barrel for your rifles?
@@RobertJohnson-lb3qz I have never lost accuracy on my pet rifle (.300 Weatherby). That said, once I “mastered” the gun, I rarely shot target as it always maintained zero. I’d guess I have 800 rounds through that gun. The other Weatherbys I own have been fired far less.
@@johncarroll3089 Hello, thanks for your input. It occurs to me as I read your message that in any gun I’ve ever owned I don’t believe I have ever fired over 1200 rounds. Except when I got super enthusiastic about plinking a couple decades ago! And still it wasn’t over 1200 and .22’s are a whole lot cheaper!So it seems I may have watched the wrong RUclips video. Plus, with the ammo shortage it might take a 1000 years to get even close to that! Thanks again for your input...
What an AWESOMELY POETIC video... Weatherby you may be in Wyoming but you still have hearts in California
I love this video it really shows where your heart is you love God with all your heart and your passion to keep Tradition in making Weatherby Rifles and testing them like your Grandfather is so honorable I own a 257 Weatherby Magnum Lazermark It’s my favorite Rifle Lord Bless you and your Family
I bought my first Weatherby rifle approximately 20 years ago a mark 5 Deluxe. I purchased a rifle when the store was located in South Gate California. I have fire the rifle approximately 20 or more times. Unfortunately I am now blind but the one thing in my mind that I still remember is the feel of such an iconic rifle. Even though I am blind I will never sell my Mark 5 Deluxe 460 magnum rifle.
Do not give up on your Weatherby. I am also blind and shoot my 300 Weatherby using in adapter that puts my iPhone on the rear of it. My spotter looks over my shoulder. There’s also a new one being made in Wisconsin that uses Bluetooth. You don’t stop shooting because you get old, you get old because you stop shooting. Keep trying and is Winston Churchill said, “never ever ever give up“.
Wonderful video and message. The new products really meet my needs, so now after only 75 years I own my first Weatherby rifle, a Backcountry in 6.5 RPM. Perfect! Grandson's are hoping that I buy more! May God continue to bless you, family, and company.
AWESOME, ON EVERY ACCOUNT!!!! THANK YOU WEATHERBY!!!
Fantastic! The soul of a hunters-life. Thanks for sharing, God bless you, and greets from the Netherlands!
Dis goed om n Nederlander hier te sien kommentaar lewer
Great video and outstanding footage! Love our Weatherby's dearly (mark 5 .300 mag, .270 vanguard, .30-06 vanguard, .308 vanguard). Always gets the job done and never let our family down for decades!!!
Backwoods Outdoors just bought my 3006 vanguard gotta just picking out a scope
absolutely outstanding video. no only were the animals very nice but the terrain and picturesque scenery were incredible.
Such an awesome story, and an even better rifle! Love the footage and the commentary! Keep it up
Wonderful. Thank you for giving praise to The Lord Jesus Christ. I am one of your brothers in Christ and I very much enjoy your grandfathers legacy and my Mark V in 6.5-300 Wby.
I was going to say something similar. God bless.
inspirational to get outdoors and closer to God
Very well done, young man. You are a poet at heart. Have seven of your rifles and may have to get another one. Proud to be part of the Weatherby family. Blessings to you and your family and your company.
When weatherby develops a new round, they choose a bullet diameter. Then, one of the employees says “how fast should this projectile go?” The boss says, “how fast can we make it go” 😂
Sounds about right!
Awesome stuff! Thanks Weatherby for capturing the truth of hunting and life. Well done.👍👍👍👍 💪in✝️
Awesome ! Its nice to see someone recognize God in this field. Seems these days thats harder to find. Great video. Great rifles. Great people. Keep it up pal! God bless.
That was awesome Adam. I love your rifles I own the Weatherby Vanguard high country 300 mag. My next purchase is going to be the Weatherby Backcountry Mark V TI 6.5 RPM. I can't wait to get it in my hands what an awesome rifle. Thanks for your dedication and your commitment. 🙌
Awesome trophies awesome gun awesome video best I've ever seen but I'm s 6.5 PRC guy. Don't forget awsome man and God ..were blessed
Passion combined with an obsession for perfection is what makes me love Weatherby. So much of that is lost in businesses that only care about the bottom dollar net in our global economy. Selling for volume isn't Weatherby's platform; perfection is standard for their product line. This is why I love Weatherby and will purchase their products in the future. Great platform for customers that repeat again and again; it's called loyalty without compromise and Weatherby has a basic understanding of why their customers continually purchase their products. I love this company and what they stand for to this day. Awesome! Weatherby, keep being true to your business plan and compromise to none that oppose this valued understanding of why customers believe in purchasing from companies that care about their customers, products, and overall true blessed way of life.
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing your faith
This was an amazing video It made me think of my Alaskan moose hunt I cant wait to go back next year to hunt sheep i ordered my Mark V 6.5-300 today thank you for what you and your company do keep up the great work
Outstanding video!
I took 6.5 Weatherby out today and shot it for 1st time! What a shooter! Love it! Weatherby and Barnes! Can’t beat that combo!!
Thanks for offering left handed rifles I actually want to own. I look at it as something I can pass down and take pride in. Having a trusted companion wherever I may go.
I placed my first Weatherby rifle order in early in the year. I hope it will become available soon.
I've been thinking about buying one of two rifles at my local gun store: a used Mark V with a stainless steel barrel or a Ruger M77 FTW... this made me buy the Weatherby
You made a wide choice.
Proud new owner of a Vanguard .300 Wthby Magnum. Only once I made my purchase did I learn anything about the Weatherby family and Adam having gone to my Christian college (Westmont, Sta Barbara, CA) and having been a pastor. Proud to be a part of this family and can prove it by the company swag I've bought and proudly wear! Just got my new Vortex 16x scope mounted and am looking forward to my first muley hunt this fall in SoCal.
To God be all praise, honor, and glory forever! 🙏
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Should I buy another hunting rifle, it will only be a Weatherby. 👍
Excellent video. I own three Weatherby's. My favorite Weatherby caliber is the 340-Weatherby Magnum. There is something special about the look, feel and results delivered down range with a Weatherby, only Weatherby owners know that feeling.
Love the weatherby first light and 6.5-300
Love my weatherby Mark V 340 magnum. I have been looking for my next Weatherby, and after watching this video, it will be the 6.5-300 weatherby! Keep up the legacy!
Geaux Tigers!
Thank you for this inspiring video. God Bless!
I’ve been in awe of the Weatherby name and brand since I was old enough to shoot. My heart soars knowing that the company is in good and godly hands. Terrific video. If you don’t know Billy Molls, Modern Day Mountain Man, you should. What a hunting story that would be!
Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
6.5-300 would be my next purchase.
Excellent video. You and Billy Molls are inspirational.
I looked at Weatherby rifles after a video with two moose taken in Alaska. But they're sorely lacking in left handed options. Even with the custom shop there wasn't what I was looking for.
I dont believe in God but I do believe in my Weatherby! Wonderful company. Wonder shotguns and rifles. Even happier I bought them after seeing their most recent commercials.
Weatherby is at the top of their game.
Well done video!
I just got my first 6.5-300. I am excited to see how it preforms
Great video and great words beautiful animals I love my weatherbys probably going to add this caliber to the collection
The 6.5x300 is an awesome caliber. I do hope you build on this, I think a 6.5x240 would be REALLY awesome! Just throwing that out there Mr. Weatherby.
Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't a 6.5-240 just be basically a 6.5-06?
Wow I was curious about the 6.5-300 weatherby. I think the commentary and video was absolutely awesome. It takes me back to my my harvest with the 300 weatherby and also with my 257 weatherby. I cant wait for my harvest with the 6.5-300 weatherby.
Beautiful video. I am also overwhelmed by GOD'S creation when I am in that element. That is when I feel close to GOD and my heart is full and my spirit is calm.
Great video of Ur story of the 6.5-300 & this hunt. I just had to have one too. So, I bought the Obsidian in 6.5-300 & 30-06 for woods hunting here in NW Louisiana on whitetails & hogs. Also, had to get Roy's favorite in 257. My love affair with Weatherby started back when the 338-378 Mark-V first came out. I've taken a many of Louisiana's deer & hogs with that Beast & still love it today. These 4 Weatherby's will eventually get passed down to my son, which he is quickly adding up some venison/hogs every yr now. Thanks to all at Weatherby for the great memories of many, many, many successful hunts to help fill my freezer every yr.
You said you helped develop the 6.5-300. What is different between this and the 6.5-300 Weatherby Wright Hoyer that was developed back in the late 1960’s or early 70’s? I own a 6.5-300 WWH that my great uncle built and used to shoot 1000 yards in the 70’s in Williamsport. If I am correct that was basically a 300 Weatherby necked down to 6.5mm. I also own a 7mm-300 Weatherby that was built by my father in the late 1970’s. I love both firearms and the Weatherby cases.
looks like ill be investing into a weatherby for my first rifle hunt.
I have two vanguards already and just this night ordered my first Mark V.
Love the caliber, hopefully I get mine this year.
The Mystery Ranch Pack you are toting is the best.
Beautiful 🙏🏼
Good stuff!
Thank You Adam.
I am not a Weatherby owner yet, but this is a great story. One day, one day... I will own a 340 Mark V Accumark!
You will love it! I have one in left hand. It has taken elk in an outstanding manner.
I can’t decide on the 6.5 or the 30-378. The 6.5 is slick, but the thump of a 378 is alluring. Not really planning a dangerous game hunt right away, but you never know. Probably end up with both!
...and it just dropped... right on!
Holy cow hippie, talk about the darn cartridge.
Bought my daughter her first rifle, of course a weatherby.
Great video really like it
Some humans are gifted by God Almighty. He seems to be one!
God Bless him and the family and the animals harvested!
I’ve always wanted a 7MM Weatherby Mag and one day I will. Next on the list will be the 6.5-300...
Nice 500 doller vanguard out there also by the looks of it
great video
I've got a super Old load book that has weatherby load data for 6.5x300 weatherby. He designed it many years ago before Adam but it never caught on
Roy started developing the 6.5x300 in the 1960's, but since it was such a fast round, bullet technology had not caught up yet so it never made it to production. Fortunately, Adam brought it back into the lineup in 2016 and now its the fastest 6.5 on the market!
@weatherby Brought it back is correct. Roy designed it many years ago. It's always been an amazing cartridge but it's even better with bullets and powders of today. That's why is had such a comeback. I have a late friends that had shot one for many years and he loved it
Nice watch!
this video is so good
Love it. All given by God.
I wish my one and only Weatherby purchase was this way. Unfortunately I’ve had bad luck with my Weatherby hopefully it will turn around after the gunsmith looks and hopefully fixes it.
Sorry to hear that, Blayne! Have you been able to talk with our Customer Service folks about it?
@@weatherby It’s at the warranty gunsmith as we type here. But still having issue with a warranty or not it’s a bummer. I had high expectations for this rifle. Even though it’s a Vanguard.
Proud Weatherby owner!!
Luv It.
Nice video. I have many fond memories of hiking in the north Cascades of north central Washington and hunting big game and grouse there and in Montana during most of the years of mine adult life. I bought a new Weatherby Mark V chambered in .300 Weatherby when I was a young man in 1974. Most of my many deer and all of my eight pronghorns were bagged with the Weatherby Mark V.
The 6.5/.300 Weatherby concept never occurred to me until recently learning of it as a current reality. Considering the large quantities of slow powder that I use in reloading the .300 Weatherby cartridge, the concept of necking it down to only 6.5 mm boggles my mind. I would definitely have to learn things that I do not already know to believe the concept to be viable. My impression of it is that it is an upscaled version of the old barrel burning .220 Swift blasting grains of unburned powder out the muzzle. .
@@josephmonaco4503 I am not familiar with the 222 Swift unless I have my numbers crossed up. The 220 Swift was/is a 257 Roberts necked down to .22 inches using a .224 bullet. The 257 Roberts was created by necking a 7X57 case down to a quarter of an inch. The 220 Swift was commercially made for some years but fell out of popularity because it was radically over its bore capacity and eroded barrels very quickly. Muzzle velocities exceeded 4,000 feet per second.
Hes right everyone has a different dream hunt
A 6,5creed with a 140gr bullet in the engine room its game over
I see on the site the 6.5x300 is available lh in backcountry 2.0 sweeeet I think I found a 6.5 I may keep if not I got a awsome action to rebarrel
Congratulations on your trophy hunt with the white Ram you shot. I’m amazed sir totally.
I myself am looking for a great Weatherby product. ; in the caliber 30.378. Is it possible to have a nice weatherby product. In the caliber mentioned above for 1,000 ya. Shots. What do you recommend for me to purchase from Weatherby!
I’m from Michigan. myself Weatherby what can Weatherby offer me sir
For a long range cartridge in the Mk.V, brand.
What caliber rifle and brand do you. I’m offering for me to buy. Please don’t tell me .300 creadmore. I have herd bad news about that caliber.
I am going to by 2 rifles -one for my son and one for me-I can’t wait!!!!
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ok good things first. Well written, and excellent message. I plan to be a Weatherby owner soon.
Now to the bad. There is NEVER a good time to shoot an animal on top of a hill. That was a major violation of gun safety. Specifically ...
Rule Three: Be sure of your target and what it beyond it.
Rule Four: Only let the muzzle cover that which you are willing to destroy.
Never ever shoot an animal if you cannot see what is behind it.
I was really surprised to see that shot taken in a weatherby video.
Well. Now I’ve got to go buy a Weatherby. Jesus. I don’t know how much more my wallet can handle. I’ll be broke my entire life, I swear.
Almost sounded like a Robert W service poem
And the meat...please please tell me you took the meat...
What scope did he pair with the 6.5-300
The hell did I just watch
Did you eat it though?
There is no way this comment section is real
He looks like his grandpa.
put wood stocks on all your guns!!!!!!!!!
witch rifle is this
what watch is that
Sharkson77 A Garmin Fenix 3. An awesome piece of wearable tech.
Most expensive boat paddle made!!!!!
Adam, the drama queen!
How about some ballistics, and prices with that cheap plastic stock?
Harvest? The word is shoot or kill, Adam. I have the 257 and 300 Weatherby with which I shoot and kill wild game animals. You harvest crops not animals.
This kid's constant talking ruined the video.
It's awesome to see sucess from such good people and company. It would be just as awesome to see you take an employee with you to have a once in a lifetime experience like this.
This was a great video but i would have enjoyed it more if there was no music and no narrative except written. BTW an Accumark is soon to be coming MY way
