The 7mm Weatherby Magnum, a cartridge of distinction, was conceived by Roy Weatherby in 1944. This round is derived from the venerable .300 H&H case and carries the hallmark of Weatherby's innovative design—its iconic double-radius shoulder.
At its core, this cartridge features a bullet diameter of .284 inches (or 7.2mm), aligning it with what is commonly referred to as the 7mm caliber category. It stands out for its precision and power, making it an esteemed choice among hunters and marksmen alike.
With a maximum case length measuring at 2.549 inches, this belted magnum began production in earnest in 1947 and has since become synonymous with reliability and performance under demanding conditions.
In choosing the 7mm Weatherby Magnum, one opts not only for superior ballistic capabilities but also for a legacy that bridges innovation with tradition—a true testament to Roy Weatherby's vision.
