The Weatherby Select 240 Weatherby Magnum ammunition delivers exceptional velocity and terminal performance with 100-grain Hornady InterLock bullets. This premium factory load maximizes the flat-shooting capabilities of the 240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge for medium game hunting at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Weatherby Select ammunition uses Hornady's proven InterLock bullet design, which mechanically locks the core and jacket together during expansion to retain 80-90% of original weight. The 240 Weatherby Magnum pushes the 100-grain bullet to approximately 3,406 fps muzzle velocity, delivering 2,576 ft-lbs of energy. This combination provides flatter trajectory and higher retained energy compared to standard hunting cartridges at long range.
