The Weatherby Select Plus 340 Weatherby Magnum delivers exceptional long-range performance with 225-grain Hornady InterLock bullets engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion. This premium hunting ammunition combines Weatherby's reputation for velocity with Hornady's proven bullet technology to create rounds capable of taking large game at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The 340 Weatherby Magnum cartridge generates significantly higher velocities than standard magnum calibers, pushing the 225-grain InterLock bullet at approximately 2,950 feet per second. Hornady's InterLock design features a raised ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion. This combination delivers devastating terminal performance while maintaining the structural integrity needed for deep penetration on heavy-bodied game.
