The Weatherby Select Plus 338 WBY Magnum ammunition delivers consistent long-range performance with 225-grain Hornady InterLock bullets engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration. This premium factory load maximizes the potential of Weatherby's flagship magnum cartridge for serious hunters pursuing large game at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Weatherby Select Plus ammunition undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent velocities and tight shot groups. Each 225-grain Hornady InterLock bullet features a tapered jacket with an inner cannelure that locks the core and jacket together during expansion. This controlled deformation retains 75-85% of the original bullet weight while creating devastating wound channels in large game animals.
