The Weatherby Select Plus 300 Weatherby Magnum delivers premium hunting performance with Hornady's advanced ELD-X bullet technology. This factory-loaded ammunition combines Weatherby's precision manufacturing with the proven terminal performance of the 200-grain ELD-X projectile. Engineered for long-range hunting applications, this cartridge maintains consistent accuracy and devastating expansion across extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The Heat Shield tip technology in the ELD-X bullet resists deformation during flight, maintaining the ballistic coefficient throughout the bullet's trajectory. Unlike traditional polymer tips that can melt and affect accuracy at high velocities, the Heat Shield tip preserves the aerodynamic profile. This results in flatter trajectories and more predictable performance compared to conventional hunting bullets, especially beyond 400 yards.
Key Features
- 200-grain Hornady ELD-X bullet with Heat Shield tip technology
- 300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge delivering 3,060 fps muzzle velocity
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and accuracy
- Premium brass cases engineered for multiple reloads
- Boxer primers for reliable ignition in all weather conditions
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Factory quality control ensures consistent performance
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles, with the ELD-X bullet maintaining expansion velocities down to 1,600 fps. The controlled expansion design provides deep penetration on large game while creating substantial wound channels. Weather-sealed primers and cases resist moisture infiltration during extended hunts. The high ballistic coefficient of 0.626 (G1) delivers exceptional downrange energy retention for ethical harvests at extended ranges.
