The 300 PRC, designed to take advantage of long heavy bullets, excels at long distances. Weatherby is known for ballistics and velocity
The 25 RPM follows the same design philosophy that made the 6.5 and 338 RPM such a standout performer. RPM stands for rebated precision magnum a modern case design built to maximize performance in the lightweight Mark V 6 lug action. The idea is simple create a magnum level cartridge that fits in a lighter more compact rifle without sacrificing velocity or downrange capability.
Barnes LRX
The Long-Range X Bullet (LRX) line is designed after the best-selling Tipped Triple-Shock X Bullet the LRX bullet design increases Ballistic Coefficient values by increasing ogive and boat tail lengths to improve the bullets’ long-range ballistic performance. An all copper bullet with polymer tip that initiates expansion causing the nose cavity to open instantly on contact doubling the bullet’s original diameter while creating four razor sharp cutting petals that wreak extensive internal damage and produce massive wound channels.

Berger Elite Hunter
The Elite Hunter bullet is made with the longest possible hybrid ogive (nose). As the bearing surface ends the tangent ogive begins resulting in much less sensitivity to seating depth. As you move beyond the tangent ogive the shape changes to a secant ogive maximizing efficiency in the wind. The long-nosed Elite Hunter projectiles produce the highest possible Ballistic Coefficients. Elite Hunter bullets also incorporate a slightly thinner J4 Precision hunting jacket which allows the projectile to penetrate 2″ to 3″ before rapidly expanding. Upon expansion the projectile sheds most of its weight producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity in the vital area. Berger Elite Hunter bullets dump their energy where it is most effective – inside the animal.

Hornady SST
The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) is designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably particularly at higher velocities. Flat shooting and deadly accurate it’s an ideal bullet for whitetails as well as most North American game animals from antelope to moose and similar?sized African plains game. The SST® creates a devastatingly large wound channel.
Roy Weatherby?s personal favorite. Travels 3870 fps (80 grain bullet) giving you the flattest trajectory of any 25 caliber rifle in the world. Suitable for long-range varmint shooting but ideal for big game hunting (depending upon bullet weight).
The 240 delivers 3500 fps muzzle velocity (80 grain bullet) and is on average considerably faster than any existing standard 6mm cartridge. This means more striking energy delivered at the target with less bullet drop at longer ranges.
The 28 Nosler was released in 2015 and is based off a 300 Remington Ultra Mag but with a rebated rim. The 28 Nosler is touted as the fastest 7MM on the market today and has a large case capacity capable of pushing large high BC bullets. At Weatherby we know velocity we took our 75+ years of ballistics experience and developed a few incredible hunting loads that will take your 28 Nosler to the next level.

Initially a wildcat cartridge developed by Roy Weatherby in 1959 at the request of the United States Army. This white-hot cartridge is based on the 378 necked down to 30 caliber and packed with powder. Originally billed as the world’s fastest 30 caliber cartridge it will push a 30 caliber bullet 3500 feet per second. Reintroduced as a Weatherby production cartridge in 1996.
Another Weatherby wildcat first introduced in the 1960s. This is the ultimate cartridge for long-range big game hunting.
The 7mm Weatherby designed by Roy Weatherby 1944 was developed from a 300 H&H case it is a belted case that sports Weatherby’s iconic double radius shoulder.

Introduced in 1963, the 340 Weatherby was designed as a response to the 338 Winchester Mag. However, Roy took advantage of the longer case to pack in more powder for greater velocity. And, it shoots heavier 338 bullets at higher velocities as well – a decidedly powerful combination. Ideally suited for animals the size of elk or larger, the 340 can also be used by deer hunters with lighter bullet weights.
