Weatherby‘s Select Plus line in .257 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. B257100TTSX) loads a 100-grain Barnes Tipped TSX lead-free bullet, giving hunters in lead-restricted areas full access to the cartridge’s extreme velocity. Weatherby markets Select Plus as its flattest shooting, hardest hitting, most accurate factory ammunition, pairing its magnum case with proven bullet offerings from makers like Barnes rather than a single house design. The Tipped TSX is an all-copper bullet with a polymer tip that drives it open into four even petals on impact, while the solid copper shank holds together for deep, reliable penetration without shedding fragments the way a lead-core bullet can. For .257 Weatherby Magnum hunters who need lead-free performance without giving up velocity, this rifle ammunition is built for that requirement.
