Weatherby Select Plus ammunition in .300 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. F300180SCO) loads a 180-grain Swift Scirocco bullet, pairing the most popular and versatile Weatherby cartridge ever built with a proven bonded hunting bullet. Based on the .300 H&H Magnum, .300 Weatherby Magnum delivers roughly 300 fps more than its British ancestor and held the flattest trajectory, longest range, and greatest killing power of any .300 magnum on the market until the 30-378 Weatherby Magnum arrived. Introduced in 1944, it remains the all-around cartridge for big-game hunters, and the Scirocco’s bonded core and polymer tip deliver positive expansion even at reduced velocity along with controlled expansion and high weight retention up close. For .300 Weatherby Magnum hunters who want that proven bonded performance, this rifle ammunition is built for the hunt.
