The Weatherby Select Plus 6.5 PRC 130-grain Swift Scirocco II load is built for hunters who demand tack-driving accuracy and flawless terminal performance at extended distances. The common frustration with standard long-range hunting rounds is that they either lose too much speed downrange or fragment into pieces upon a high-velocity impact. This premium cartridge completely eliminates that worry by combining an ultra-sleek, aerodynamic bullet with a chemically bonded core, ensuring your bullet flies straight and stays intact all the way through the target.
The technical advantage centers on matching the highly efficient 6.5 PRC case geometry with the Swift Scirocco II’s exceptional aerodynamics. Boasting a remarkable 0.571 G1 ballistic coefficient, this projectile slices through heavy crosswinds and retains its energy far downrange. To handle intense impact stress, the lead core is chemically fused to a heavy, tapered copper jacket. This unbreakable bond prevents jacket-core separation entirely, allowing the bullet to mushroom perfectly and drive deep without needing an excessively heavy payload.
Screaming out of the muzzle at a powerful 3,025 FPS, this 130-grain load utilizes a black polymer tip and a precise 15-degree boat tail to minimize mid-flight drag. The signature tip also safeguards against magazine deformation and acts as a plunger to kickstart controlled expansion on contact. Weatherby's premium loading tolerances deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy and a flat trajectory, giving you match-grade confidence when tracking large-bodied game across wide-open country.
