The Weatherby Select Plus 30-378 Weatherby Magnum ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance with Barnes Tipped TSX lead-free bullets. This premium hunting cartridge combines Weatherby's legendary magnum power with Barnes' proven copper construction for superior penetration and weight retention. Each 180-grain bullet maintains structural integrity through bone and tissue while meeting lead-free hunting requirements.
What Makes This Different
The Barnes Tipped TSX bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the solid copper body retains 99% of its original weight. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment, the TSX design creates four razor-sharp petals that double the bullet diameter for devastating wound channels. The boat-tail design maintains ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories at extended ranges.
