The Weatherby Select Plus 28 Nosler 163gr Hammer Custom ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance for serious hunters and precision shooters. This premium factory load combines Weatherby's manufacturing expertise with Hammer Bullets' proven copper construction for devastating terminal performance on big game.
What Makes This Different
Hammer Custom bullets feature a unique drive band design that reduces barrel friction while maintaining accuracy. The 163-grain copper construction provides 99% weight retention compared to 60-70% typical lead core bullets. Factory-loaded ammunition eliminates the guesswork of handloading while delivering consistent velocities within 15 fps standard deviation. The 28 Nosler cartridge generates 3,200+ fps muzzle velocity with this bullet weight.
