.224 Weatherby Magnum

The .224 Weatherby Magnum (5.56×49mmB) is a sporting cartridge that Weatherby introduced in 1963. The chambering was discontinued in 1994 and reintroduced in 2025. It is the only belted magnum varmint cartridge. It is a proprietary cartridge with no major firearms manufacturers chambering rifles for it other than Weatherby. It was originally called the .224 Weatherby Varmintmaster when it was introduced alongside the Weatherby Varmintmaster rifle, but the rifle was discontinued in 1994 and the cartridge was renamed.
