Overview
The Weatherby Select Plus 7mm PRC 175gr rifle ammunition is engineered for the discerning shooter requiring consistent long-range performance and precise terminal ballistics. This loading leverages a heavy, 175-grain projectile, meticulously designed to achieve a high ballistic coefficient. This attribute is critical for maintaining projectile velocity and mitigating wind deflection across extended engagement distances, directly supporting accurate shot placement in demanding field conditions.
Key Performance Characteristics
Precision Ballistics
The core of this ammunition’s utility lies in its ballistic profile. The 175-grain projectile, when coupled with the 7mm PRC cartridge, provides superior downrange energy retention and flat trajectory characteristics. This configuration is optimized for deep penetration and reliable energy transfer, crucial for ethical harvests in long-range hunting scenarios. The inherent stability of the heavy bullet minimizes environmental factors impacting flight path, ensuring predictable point of impact.
Cartridge Integration
The 7mm PRC cartridge itself was developed to fully capitalize on longer, more aerodynamically efficient bullets, achieving optimal performance within standard long-action rifle platforms. Weatherby’s established expertise in ballistic efficiency and muzzle velocity is integrated into this Select Plus loading, delivering a consistent and powerful energy signature at distance.
Application and Reliability
For applications demanding extended-range precision, such as hunting in vast, open terrains including challenging western environments, the Weatherby Select Plus 7mm PRC 175gr offers a dependable solution. This ammunition provides the ballistic performance essential for accurate shot placement at distances where consistent energy delivery to the target is paramount. The manufacturing process ensures uniformity across each round, contributing to shot-to-shot consistency.
