7mm Weatherby Magnum

The 7 mm Weatherby Magnum is a powerful (magnum) 7 mm rifle cartridge offered by the Weatherby firearms company in their Mark V rifles. The cartridge was one of the first cartridges offered by the Weatherby company.

It was developed in the 1940s by Roy Weatherby. The 7 mm Weatherby Magnum did not get a lot of exposure until the early part of the 1950s when the Weatherby rifles became more available. It is a great cartridge for a one-rifle hunter that shoots long distances. It has taken game of all sizes around the world.
