Weatherby 300 PRC 205gr Berger Elite Hunter Ammo

Description

When you're building around heavy-for-caliber performance in the 300 PRC, this Weatherby Select Plus loading gives you a legitimate reason to skip the hand-loading bench. Weatherby loads the Berger 205-grain Elite Hunter projectile to factory specifications, and this is the bullet the entire cartridge was designed around. You get premium brass, proven powders, and trusted primers matched to a projectile that brings real terminal performance to the field.

Weatherby Select Plus 300 PRC Design

The 205-grain Elite Hunter projectile uses a hybrid ogive design that's becoming standard on serious long-range hunting bullets. This shape manages to combine easier tuning and less sensitivity to seating depth with a ballistic profile that cuts through wind better than traditional designs. The bullet features Berger's J4 Precision hunting jacket, slightly thinner than match-grade versions, which allows 2-3 inches of penetration before rapid expansion. That controlled performance is what separates a hunting bullet from a match bullet. Upon expansion, the projectile sheds most of its weight, producing the hydrostatic shock that translates into quick, ethical kills on game.

Performance at Extended Ranges

The 300 PRC as a platform shines when you're hunting beyond traditional ranges. This cartridge excels at 800+ yards with premium heavy bullets, giving you options for truly long-range field work that most other 30-caliber magnums can't match. The 205-grain Elite Hunter in this factory load carries enough energy and maintains velocity stability well beyond typical hunting distances. If you're disciplined with your shooting and your rifle is capable, this ammunition lets you extend your effective range considerably compared to lighter bullets or other cartridge choices.
