The 25 WBY RPM was designed for today’s long, high BC 25 caliber bullets. It allows shooters to seat modern projectiles without sacrificing valuable powder capacity. With a maximum overall length of 3.34 inches and 0.940 inches of seating room, the cartridge easily accommodates sleek bullet profiles while still delivering the velocity and energy expected from Weatherby.

Designed from the start for modern heavy-for-caliber bullets
Built For The Lighter Mark V 6-LUG Standard
25 WBY RPM was engineered to deliver magnum-class .25 performance in a trimmer, lighter action—optimized for modern, high-BC bullets.
Why the 6-lug platform
Weatherby built its reputation on ballistic superiority. The Mark V 6-lug standard action has been one of our best tools for building rifles that carry easier and handle faster in steep country.
25 WBY RPM lets us take full advantage of that platform: a rebated, efficient case engineered around the 6-lug action footprint so you can carry less rifle without giving up the velocity and energy you expect from Weatherby.
Why the Model 307 platform
Weatherby’s Model 307 is our newest bolt-action rifle platform—and the first all-new Weatherby centerfire action in over 50 years. Designed and tested in Sheridan, Wyoming, the 307 was built for shooters who value flexibility, modularity, and modern compatibility
At the heart of the Model 307 is a 2-lug, fully cylindrical carbon steel bolt designed to integrate seamlessly with today’s most popular stocks, triggers, rails, mounts, and magazines. Tool-less bolt disassembly and an M16-style extractor provide reliable operation and easy field service, while maintaining the precision and durability expected from a Weatherby action.
25 WBY RPM is offered in the Model 307 long action, pairing Weatherby-class velocity and energy with a platform designed to accept a wide range of aftermarket components—at home on the range or in the mountains.

What People Are Saying
First impressions from the team and insiders who spent time behind the rifle with 25 RPM.
“It’s been 80 years since my grandfather introduced his favorite cartridge, the 257 Wby Mag. Rather than updating the all-time "King of the Quarter Bore", we felt it was fitting to introduce the 25 Wby RPM alongside Roy’s favorite cartridge with the purposeful intent of loading heavy for caliber bullets that are now so readily available. The end result will be an unstoppable pair of 25’s!”
“When I received the early versions of the chamber print for the 25 RPM, both the Barnes team and I immediately got excited. It was a bullet designer’s dream. The fast twist rate and thoughtfully designed freebore gave me tons of options to optimize a new LRX copper bullet.”
“Seeing a buck backflip for the first time sold me on Weatherby’s .25, and its capabilities at long range make it a certified killer.”
“The .25 Weatherby RPM is perhaps the finest cartridge yet in Weatherby’s long history of innovation. If you’re a quarter-bore fan, it offers an excellent blend of lethality and external ballistics without excessive recoil.”
“Hunters that love quarter-bore cartridges have been yearning for a modern, fast .25 that's optimized for heavy, high-BC projectiles. Weatherby's new .25 RPM is all that and more... it just might be the best .25-caliber hunting cartridge ever designed!”
