The Weatherby Select Plus 6.5 PRC 124-grain Hammer Custom load is built for long-range hunters who demand a laser-flat trajectory and absolute bullet integrity. The major headache with standard lead-core hunting bullets at extended ranges is that a drop in velocity can lead to weak, unpredictable expansion—or worse, the bullet can fragment and fail to penetrate if it hits heavy bone at close range. This premium load completely eliminates those variables by deploying a lathe-turned monolithic copper projectile designed to fly incredibly fast, flat, and true.
The technical advantage centers on advanced physics and CNC-machined precision. This round features an innovative Parabolic Drag Reduction (PDR) geometry. By reducing the bullet's bearing surface, this smart design slashes friction down the barrel, lowering chamber pressures while driving up muzzle velocities. Up front, the solid copper construction means there is zero jacket to tear away or separate under extreme rotational forces, guaranteeing total weight retention and rock-solid ballistic consistency out of any factory chamber.
Screaming out of the muzzle at a blistering 3,100 FPS, this 124-grain monolithic copper hollow point translates pure speed into devastating downrange momentum. Upon impact, the specialized nose geometry is engineered to expand instantly and undergo controlled petal shedding, creating a massive, high-trauma wound channel. Meanwhile, the heavy, solid copper rear shank remains completely intact, preserving its sectional density to punch straight and deep through thick hide, heavy muscle, and bone for a quick, ethical harvest.
Key Benefits
- Lathe-Turned Monolithic Copper: Solid copper design entirely eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring maximum weight retention.
- Parabolic Drag Reduction: PDR grooves cut down bore friction, maximizing muzzle velocity while keeping chamber pressures safely optimized.
- Controlled Petal Shedding: Specially machined hollow-point nose sheds its forward petals to maximize internal trauma while the solid base punches deep.
- High-Velocity Hunting Profile: Pushes a sleek 124-grain payload to 3,100 FPS to minimize mid-flight drop and wind drift over extended hunting distances.
