Weatherby Select Plus 257 Wby Mag 110gr Hornady ELD-X Ammo

The Weatherby Select Plus 257 Weatherby Magnum delivers exceptional long-range performance with Hornady's advanced ELD-X bullet technology. This premium hunting ammunition combines Weatherby's precision manufacturing with proven ballistic coefficients for extended effective range. Each cartridge features match-grade components optimized for the high-velocity 257 Weatherby Magnum platform.

What Makes This Different

The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) bullet incorporates Heat Shield technology to maintain ballistic coefficient integrity at extended ranges. Unlike conventional hunting bullets that experience tip deformation from aerodynamic heating, the ELD-X maintains its streamlined profile throughout flight. This translates to flatter trajectories and consistent terminal performance beyond 400 yards, where standard bullets begin losing effectiveness.

Key Features

• 110-grain Hornady ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
• High ballistic coefficient (.465 G1) for superior long-range trajectory
• Controlled expansion design optimizes energy transfer on game
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Temperature-stable powder formulation for consistent velocities
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliability
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

Field testing demonstrates muzzle velocities approaching 3,400 fps from 26-inch barrels, generating over 2,800 foot-pounds of energy. The 110-grain projectile maintains supersonic flight beyond 1,200 yards while delivering devastating terminal performance on medium to large game. Weather-resistant primer sealing and quality control standards ensure consistent ignition across temperature extremes.
