The .270 Weatherby Magnum Select line pairs Weatherby's iconic magnum cartridge design with proven Hornady components to deliver what matters most for medium-game hunters: velocity, accuracy, and reliable terminal performance.
When Roy Weatherby developed the .270 Weatherby Magnum in 1943, he set out to create a flatter-shooting, harder-hitting alternative to the standard .270 Winchester. This Select ammunition carries that legacy forward by running 130-grain Hornady InterLock bullets at approximately 3,400 feet per second, giving you significant downrange energy advantages over conventional loadings. The flat trajectory translates to easier shot placement across extended distances, and the velocity helps minimize wind drift when you're hunting in open country.
The 130-grain InterLock bullet features Hornady's mechanical locking system, which embeds a ring inside the jacket to keep the core and jacket locked together during expansion. This design promotes controlled expansion while maintaining solid penetration, even when impact velocities are high. The exposed lead tip ensures consistent expansion without fragmentation issues, and the secant ogive profile contributes to the bullet's ballistic efficiency and accuracy. This is a proven bullet that's been relied on by hunters for decades in various calibers, and it performs particularly well in the velocity envelope the .270 Weatherby provides.
With the 130-grain weight, this load excels for deer, pronghorn, and similar medium-sized game out to around 325 yards where energy levels remain adequate for quick, ethical kills. Skilled hunters can extend that range further with proper shot placement. The combination of high velocity, minimal bullet drop, and reliable terminal ballistics makes this Select line ammunition a practical choice for mountain hunting, open prairie work, or anywhere flat shooting matters. The brass cases are reloadable, which appeals to handloaders who want to extend the life of quality brass.
The .270 Weatherby Magnum delivers significantly higher velocity, pushing the 130-grain bullet to around 3,400 fps compared to approximately 3,060 fps from a standard .270 Winchester. This translates to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and retained energy at distance. The Weatherby cartridge was designed from the ground up by Roy Weatherby in 1943 to be a superior magnum version, making it particularly effective for longer-range hunting.
The 130-grain Hornady InterLock load works well on deer, pronghorn antelope, and similar medium-sized game. With proper shot placement and appropriate ranges, many hunters have used this cartridge effectively on elk and larger game as well. The InterLock bullet's controlled expansion and penetration characteristics make it a versatile choice across the medium-game spectrum when used within reasonable hunting distances.
With the 130-grain InterLock bullet and the flat trajectory of the .270 Weatherby, this ammunition is effective out to approximately 325 yards for typical hunting scenarios where you want adequate velocity and energy for clean kills. Experienced long-range hunters can extend this further, but wind drift and bullet drop increase with distance, and the InterLock bullet performs best at impact velocities above 1,700 fps.
Yes. Weatherby Select ammunition comes in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, making it an economical choice for handloaders. The brass quality is suitable for multiple reloads, and many reloaders appreciate the extra case capacity of the .270 Weatherby Magnum, which allows for higher velocities compared to standard .270 Winchester brass when custom loading.
