Description
This is the ammunition you grab when you're setting up for a serious long-range hunt or competition. Weatherby Select Plus loaded with 195 grain Hammer Custom bullets represents the combination of two proven performers: a cartridge engineered for distance and bullets specifically designed for consistency and terminal performance.
Why Weatherby 300 PRC with Hammer Custom
The 300 PRC was designed from the ground up to handle long, heavy bullets, and this load takes full advantage of that capability. At 2950 fps and 3768 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, you get a solid platform for hitting targets at extended ranges while maintaining the energy needed for clean, ethical performance on game. The flat trajectory you get from this combination means less hold-over correction, which translates to more forgiving shooting in real-world conditions.
Hammer Custom Bullet Performance
Hammer bullets stand out because they're literally machined from solid copper on a CNC lathe rather than cast or swaged like traditional bullets. Each projectile gets individually weighed and measured during production, so the consistency between rounds is exceptional. This precision manufacturing approach reduces shot-to-shot velocity variations and helps you build confidence in your ballistics calculations. The hollow point design initiates controlled expansion on impact, shedding petals immediately while the core maintains integrity for deep penetration. That combination gives you effective energy transfer without unpredictable performance.
What You're Getting
Weatherby selected quality brass cases for this load that can be reloaded after firing, which adds value if you're into handloading. The ammunition comes packaged in boxes of 20 rounds, which is standard for factory precision loads. Lead-free construction means this is suitable where regulations require it, and the overall quality reflects Weatherby's focus on producing ammunition that matches what custom rifle builders expect from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hammer Custom bullets different from other factory ammunition?
Hammer bullets are CNC-machined from solid copper rather than traditional cast construction, and each bullet is individually weighed and measured for consistency. The hollow point design sheds petals on impact while the core stays intact for deep penetration, providing reliable expansion across a range of velocities and distances.
Is this ammunition suitable for reloading?
Yes. The brass cases are reloadable, so after firing you can collect them and develop your own loads. This makes the ammunition a good value option for serious handloaders who want to fine-tune their ballistics for their specific rifle.
What kind of applications is this 300 PRC load best suited for?
This ammunition is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting where extended-distance performance matters. The 195 grain Hammer Custom bullet's weight and ballistic properties work well for large game hunting at distance, and the consistent manufacturing makes it competitive-grade for target shooting applications.
How does the 195 grain Hammer Custom compare in ballistics to other 300 PRC options?
The 195 grain Hammer Custom is heavier than some factory loads, which gives you a higher ballistic coefficient for less bullet drop at distance, though it generates slightly lower velocity than lighter projectiles. This weight class is popular for precision work because the heavier bullet resists wind drift better, making it easier to hold accurate groups beyond 500 yards.
