The Weatherby Select Plus 7mm PRC 177-grain Hammer Custom load is engineered for serious big-game hunters who demand flat trajectories and absolute terminal reliability well past standard magnum distances. The constant struggle in long-range hunting is pushing a heavy bullet fast enough without spiking chamber pressures or causing the bullet to tear itself apart on impact. This premium round completely solves that puzzle by pairing a modern, high-efficiency beltless case with a CNC-machined monolithic copper projectile that thrives under intense magnum stress.
The technical advantage centers on a perfect harmony between advanced case architecture and bullet geometry. Built on the modern, beltless 7mm PRC casing, this round ensures flawless chamber alignment and a highly uniform powder burn. Up front, the lathe-turned, solid copper Hammer Custom bullet features innovative Parabolic Drag Reduction (PDR) bands. By minimizing the bullet's bearing surface, this smart design slashes friction down the barrel, smoothing out pressure curves while squeezing every ounce of velocity out of the powder charge.
Slinging a heavy-for-caliber 177-grain monolithic copper hollow point at 2,925 FPS, this system carries a massive 0.611 ballistic coefficient to cut through fierce crosswinds and sustain devastating downrange energy. 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 high sectional density to drive straight and deep through the thickest hide and bone of trophy big game.
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 shank punches deep.
- Heavy-for-Caliber 7mm PRC Efficiency: High-BC 177-grain profile maximizes downrange energy retention and masterfully resists mid-flight wind drift.
