The Weatherby Select Plus 257 Weatherby Magnum ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance with premium 92-grain Hammer Custom bullets designed for precision hunting applications. This factory-loaded cartridge combines Weatherby's manufacturing expertise with Hammer Bullets' monolithic copper construction for superior accuracy and terminal performance. Each round undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent velocities and reliable ignition in demanding field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Hammer Custom bullets feature a unique drive band design that reduces copper fouling while maintaining optimal barrel contact for enhanced accuracy. The monolithic copper construction eliminates core separation issues common with traditional lead-core projectiles, ensuring consistent weight retention and penetration. Factory velocities typically exceed 3,400 fps from standard 26-inch barrels, delivering flat trajectories ideal for long-range hunting scenarios.
Key Features
- 92-grain Hammer Custom monolithic copper bullets for maximum weight retention
- 257 Weatherby Magnum chambering optimized for flat-shooting performance
