Description

The Weatherby Select Plus line brings the kind of ballistic precision hunters demand. This 6.5 PRC load pairs a 130-grain Swift Scirocco bullet with premium Norma brass and quality powders, producing 3025 fps muzzle velocity and 2641 ft-lbs of energy. That combination translates to flat trajectories and hard-hitting performance beyond 300 yards.

Scirocco Bullet Design

Swift's Scirocco is engineered for long-range hunting. The polymer tip initiates expansion while the progressively tapered copper jacket controls expansion at varying velocities. The bonded lead core maintains structural integrity through impact, delivering deep penetration with excellent weight retention. A secant ogive nose profile and boat-tail design work together to give this bullet a high ballistic coefficient, keeping velocity consistent downrange where it matters most.

Made for Precision and Hunting

The 6.5 PRC was designed to split the difference between the 6.5 Creedmoor and magnum power, offering roughly 200 fps more velocity than a Creedmoor while keeping recoil manageable. You get flat shooting characteristics and reliable terminal performance on deer, elk, and similar game out to distances that would challenge lesser cartridges. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to the same exacting standards Weatherby applies across their ammunition line.

Quality That Shows in the Field

Weatherby manufactures in the United States with premium brass, proven powders, and trusted primers. The Select Plus line specifically focuses on consistency and reliable terminal ballistics, backed by the kind of quality control you expect from a company built on ballistic performance. Whether you're dialing in at 100 yards or reaching out past 400, this is ammunition that rewards precision with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the 6.5 PRC and the 6.5 Creedmoor?

The 6.5 PRC delivers roughly 200+ fps more velocity than the Creedmoor while maintaining manageable recoil. This extra velocity translates to flatter trajectories and better downrange energy retention, making the PRC a solid choice for hunters pushing out to longer distances without jumping to magnum recoil.

Is the Scirocco bullet good for hunting big game?

The Swift Scirocco is a solid performer on medium to large game. The bonded construction and progressive taper provide controlled expansion at various velocities while the design encourages deep penetration with excellent weight retention. It's been a trusted hunting bullet for years across multiple cartridges.

Can this ammo be reloaded?

Yes. Weatherby brass is quality material suitable for reloading, and the Select Plus line is often used by handloaders as a reference load. The cases perform well through multiple reloading cycles when handled properly.

What game is this load suitable for?

The 130-grain Scirocco at 3025 fps is well-suited for deer, elk, and similar medium to large game at extended ranges. The energy levels and bullet design handle these applications well, though shot placement remains critical regardless of ballistics.
