Operational Overview
The Weatherby Select Plus .338 WBY RPM, loaded with the 225 grain Hornady InterLock projectile, represents a precision-engineered solution for formidable large game. This ammunition is formulated to leverage the full ballistic potential of the .338 WBY RPM cartridge, delivering substantial kinetic energy and consistent terminal performance required for critical engagements in demanding environments. The cartridge’s design prioritizes deep penetration and controlled expansion, ensuring effective energy transfer to mitigate target movement.
Key Features
- Caliber Optimization: Specifically engineered for the .338 WBY RPM cartridge, ensuring optimal powder burn and consistent muzzle velocities from compatible platforms. This cartridge is renowned for its high velocity and flat trajectory, extending effective range.
- Hornady InterLock Projectile: Features the proven 225 grain Hornady InterLock bullet. Its design incorporates a crimped lead core, ensuring high weight retention upon impact. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core to the jacket, preventing core-jacket separation and promoting deep, controlled penetration alongside reliable expansion across a broad velocity spectrum.
- Consistent Performance: Each round is manufactured to stringent quality controls, utilizing premium components including matched propellant charges and reliable primers. This ensures shot-to-shot consistency, which is critical for precision and predictable downrange performance in hunting scenarios.
- Application Specificity: Developed for hunting large and dangerous game where significant terminal ballistics are paramount. The combination of caliber power and bullet construction provides a high degree of incapacitation potential.
