.300 Weatherby Magnum 200gr ELD-X Ammo 20-Round Box

Description

The Weatherby Select Plus .300 Weatherby Magnum with 200-grain Hornady ELD-X bullets represents what happens when two respected ammunition makers join forces on a cartridge that's been setting ballistic standards since 1944. This is ammunition built for hunters who demand the same flat trajectory and velocity Roy Weatherby pioneered—but with modern bullet technology that actually works across the full spectrum of hunting ranges.

What Makes the ELD-X Different

The Hornady ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag, eXpanding) bullet does two very different things depending on distance, which is why it works whether you're 100 yards away or pushing past 400. At closer ranges, the bullet expands aggressively for quick, decisive results. At longer distances, the Heat Shield tip maintains its shape against aerodynamic heating so the bullet retains its ballistic coefficient all the way downrange. This means less wind drift, a flatter arc, and consistent expansion performance when it matters most. The 200-grain projectile at 3000 fps delivers 3997 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle—serious power for elk, moose, and larger game.

Weatherby Select Plus Quality Standards

Weatherby didn't just slap their name on this ammunition. The Select Plus line reflects their commitment to premium components and tight tolerances. You get reloadable brass cases engineered for consistency, clean-burning powders loaded to uniform capacity, and ammunition that performs reliably regardless of temperature swings. Each box contains 20 rounds, and the ammunition comes in standard reloadable brass—good news if you're looking to stretch your investment further down the line.

Real-World Performance

This load puts the velocity and flat trajectory the .300 Weatherby Magnum is known for into ammunition you can actually buy off a shelf. The combination delivers the kind of downrange energy retention that makes longer shots ethical and consistent, while the controlled expansion of the ELD-X bullet means terminal performance that works from close range to extended distances. Whether you're chasing deer-sized game or targeting the biggest animals in North America, this ammunition bridges the gap between ballistic theory and field results.
