The Weatherby Select Plus 6.5 PRC 124gr Hammer Custom rifle ammunition is engineered for demanding precision and effective terminal performance. Introduced as part of the PRC cartridge lineage in 2018, the 6.5 PRC was developed to expand upon the capabilities of its 6.5 Creedmoor predecessor, specifically offering a significant velocity increase for enhanced ballistic reach.
Key Features
Optimized Ballistic Performance
This 6.5 PRC load provides a demonstrated velocity increase exceeding 200 feet per second (FPS) over comparable 6.5 Creedmoor offerings. This elevated muzzle velocity directly contributes to a flatter trajectory and reduced wind deflection, optimizing long-range engagement parameters. The cartridge design prioritizes consistent energy delivery at extended distances.
Hammer Custom Projectile Integration
Utilizing the 124-grain Hammer Custom projectile, this ammunition is configured for controlled expansion and deep penetration. The bullet’s design promotes reliable terminal performance, crucial for hunting applications or precise target engagement where consistent impact effects are paramount. Projectile integrity is maintained across a broad velocity spectrum.
Manufacturing Precision
Each round of Weatherby Select Plus ammunition undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure component consistency. This commitment to manufacturing precision minimizes shot-to-shot deviation, supporting the shooter’s ability to achieve repeatable accuracy. Propellant loads are metered to maintain consistent chamber pressures and muzzle velocities within specified tolerances.
