The Weatherby Select Plus series, featuring the 6.5 PRC 130gr Swift Scirocco II projectile, is engineered to capitalize on the inherent ballistic advantages of the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge. Introduced in 2018, the 6.5 PRC was developed to complement the 6.5 Creedmoor, delivering a substantial increase in velocity—exceeding 200 feet per second faster than the Creedmoor—for enhanced long-range performance and terminal energy.
Key Features
Optimized 6.5 PRC Cartridge Performance
This ammunition leverages the 6.5 PRC’s design for increased powder capacity, facilitating higher muzzle velocities and flatter trajectories. The cartridge’s efficiency and power are specifically utilized to mitigate bullet drop and wind drift over extended ranges, a critical factor for precision shooters and serious hunters.
Swift Scirocco II Projectile Integration
Each round is loaded with the 130-grain Swift Scirocco II bullet. This projectile features a bonded core construction, ensuring exceptional weight retention upon impact and deep penetration. The polymer tip initiates reliable expansion across a broad velocity range, while its aerodynamic profile contributes to a high ballistic coefficient, optimizing flight stability and energy delivery downrange. This design provides consistent terminal ballistics required for ethical hunting and predictable target engagement.
Consistent Ballistic Profile
Weatherby Select Plus ammunition undergoes stringent quality control to ensure uniform powder charges and seating depths. This manufacturing precision contributes to shot-to-shot consistency, which is paramount for achieving repeatable accuracy and reliable performance from your firearm system.
