Description

The .257 Weatherby Magnum has been turning heads since 1945, and this Select Plus load brings out the best of what makes it special. You get a 110-grain Hornady ELD-X projectile launched at 3400 fps, creating one of the flattest trajectories you'll find in factory ammunition. That translates to less hold-over adjustment out to distances where other calibers are starting to drop off. The energy at the muzzle sits at 2823 foot-pounds, giving you effective terminal performance across a range of game sizes.

Hornady ELD-X Bullet Technology

What makes this load particularly well-suited to extended-range hunting is the ELD-X design. The Heat Shield tip resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout the bullet's flight, which helps preserve a higher ballistic coefficient downrange. The expanding design is engineered for consistent performance whether you're shooting at close range or stretching the distance, and the projectile retains its weight after impact for deeper penetration.

Weatherby Select Plus Pedigree

Weatherby's ammunition division has built this load to the same standard as Roy's rifles. The brass is premium quality, the propellant is uniformly loaded for consistency, and the whole package combines to deliver the accuracy and reliability this cartridge is known for. You get 20 rounds per box, and the brass is reloadable if you want to continue using it long after the initial firing.

The .257 Weatherby is Roy's personal favorite for good reason. It handles medium to larger game efficiently, works remarkably well on varmints with lighter loads, and does it all without excessive recoil. If you're running a rifle chambered in this cartridge and want ammunition that performs at the level your rifle deserves, this is the load to grab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this .257 Weatherby ammunition suitable for hunting deer and elk?

Yes, the 110-grain ELD-X bullet is well-suited for medium to larger game including deer, elk, and similar-sized animals. The high velocity and premium bullet design deliver effective terminal performance at both close and extended ranges. For the best results on larger game, use proper shot placement and a rifle with adequate barrel length to achieve the full velocity potential.

Can I reload the brass from Weatherby Select Plus ammunition?

Absolutely. The brass cases are marked as reloadable, and Weatherby ammunition is known for using quality components that hold up well to multiple loadings. Many reloaders prefer Weatherby brass for its consistency and durability, which can help you save money if you plan to reload and reload again.

What makes the Hornady ELD-X bullet different from standard hunting bullets?

The ELD-X features a Heat Shield tip that resists the effects of aerodynamic heating during flight, helping it maintain its shape and ballistic coefficient throughout the trajectory. This design allows for more consistent expansion at various impact velocities, from close range to extended distances, and provides excellent weight retention for deeper penetration on game.

How does the .257 Weatherby compare to other magnum calibers in terms of recoil?

The .257 Weatherby offers exceptional velocity and energy with relatively mild recoil for a magnum cartridge. The high-speed, lighter 110-grain bullet generates less felt recoil than heavier projectiles in larger calibers, making it manageable for most shooters while still delivering the flat trajectory and hitting power hunters expect from a magnum round.
