Product Overview
Best Uses for Weatherby Select Plus .300 PRC 180gr Swift Scirocco Ammo
The Weatherby Select Plus .300 PRC 180gr Swift Scirocco delivers exceptional velocity and flat trajectory for hunters who prioritize speed and energy delivery at medium to long range. Pushing the bonded Swift Scirocco II bullet at an impressive 3025 fps with 3658 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load offers a flatter trajectory than heavier .300 PRC options, making holdovers more intuitive for field shooting. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the bonded lead core ensures the bullet stays together for deep penetration on elk, mule deer, and other large game.
This ammunition excels for hunters who value velocity and energy transfer over extreme-range capability, making it ideal for shots within 500 yards where the higher speed translates to more forgiving trajectory and wind drift calculations. The Scirocco's bonded construction handles high-velocity close-range impacts without excessive fragmentation while still expanding reliably at the reduced velocities encountered at longer distances. Western hunters pursuing deer, antelope, and elk in varied terrain will appreciate this versatility.
The Weatherby Select Plus line represents the company's commitment to providing factory ammunition that maximizes the performance potential of modern cartridges. For owners of Weatherby rifles chambered in .300 PRC, this load is specifically tuned to deliver optimal accuracy and reliability. The lighter 180-grain bullet also produces slightly less recoil than heavier options, allowing faster follow-up shots and reduced shooter fatigue during extended range sessions or multi-day hunts.
