Description
The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Select Plus gives you the fastest 6.5mm cartridge commercially available, paired with one of the most refined hunting bullets available. Weatherby designed this round to flatten trajectories, maximize energy downrange, and deliver consistent accuracy when it counts.
What Makes Select Plus Stand Out
This isn't just another magnum load. Weatherby Select Plus ammunition uses premium projectiles paired with carefully matched powders and Norma Brass cases. The result is ammunition that groups tight and performs predictably shot after shot. You get factory consistency without the custom load price, which is why guides and experienced hunters reach for this ammunition when the shot matters.
Swift Scirocco II Bullet Performance
The 130-grain Swift Scirocco II bullet is built for high-velocity use. Its bonded copper jacket stays together through expansion, and the tapered design controls how the bullet opens across a wide range of impact velocities. The polymer tip initiates expansion reliably, while the advanced secant ogive produces a ballistic coefficient of .571 G1, meaning this bullet carries velocity and energy to distances where ordinary projectiles start dropping off hard. This matters whether you're stretching shots in open country or taking what comes when hunting broken terrain.
Built for Extended Range
With muzzle velocities around 3476 fps, bullet drop between 100 and 300 yards becomes almost academic. Wind becomes the bigger concern, not elevation. The flat trajectory means your shot window stays large even when distances stretch beyond typical hunting ranges. Reloadable brass cases let you squeeze more accuracy out of every round if you work up loads at the bench.
This ammunition runs in any 6.5-300 Weatherby chamber and pairs especially well with Mark V and Vanguard rifles. It's rated for medium to large game where the velocity and terminal performance of premium projectiles shine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Weatherby Select and Select Plus ammunition?
Select Plus uses premium hunting bullets like the Swift Scirocco II for terminal performance and long-range efficiency. Select ammunition uses traditional projectiles and costs less. If you're hunting beyond typical ranges or using high-velocity Weatherby magnums where bullet choice matters, Select Plus delivers the premium projectiles that justify the investment.
Will this ammunition work in other 6.5mm rifles?
This ammunition is loaded specifically for the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum chamber. Do not use it in other 6.5mm rifles like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, or 6.5-284. The cartridge dimensions and pressure are different. Always verify your rifle's actual chamber before loading any ammunition.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes. The brass cases are boxer-primed and non-corrosive, making them reloadable. However, the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum uses large rifle magnum primers, so your reloading setup must support that. The case dimensions and pressure limits remain the same as factory specifications.
What game is this ammunition suitable for?
The 6.5-300 Weatherby Select Plus with 130-grain Scirocco II projectiles is rated for medium game (50-300 lbs) like deer and antelope, and large game (300-1500 lbs) including elk and similar-sized animals. The fast velocity and bonded bullet construction work well across a range of distances and impact scenarios where premium terminal performance matters.
