The Weatherby Select Plus 28 Nosler 150gr Swift Scirocco delivers exceptional long-range performance for serious hunters pursuing big game at extended distances. This premium factory ammunition combines Weatherby's precision loading with Swift's proven Scirocco bonded bullet technology. Each cartridge maintains consistent velocities and terminal performance across varying conditions and ranges.
What Makes This Different
Swift Scirocco bullets feature a bonded core construction that retains 75-85% of original weight upon impact, significantly outperforming conventional cup-and-core designs. The polymer tip initiates controlled expansion while the tapered jacket and bonded lead core ensure deep penetration. Weatherby's Select Plus line undergoes rigorous quality control testing, with each lot chronographed for velocity consistency within 20 fps standard deviation.
