Weatherby .257 Weatherby Magnum 100gr Barnes TTSX Ammunition /20

Weatherby Select Plus ammunition is some of the flattest shooting, hardest hitting, most accurate ammunition you can buy. It pairs magnum cartridge design with the most popular bullet offerings from Barnes, Hornady, Swift and Nosler. With Select Plus, there's a bullet option to meet every hunting or shooting situation. Available in all Weatherby Magnum chamberings from .224 Wby. Mag. thru .460 Wby. Mag. including the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum! With a Weatherby Mark V or Vanguard rifle, you'll have an unbeatable combination for tack-driving knockdown power that's always dead on the money 

Weatherby uses only the finest components, such as Norma brass, to assure that each load is as precise as a shooter's favorite handload. Premium ammunition for premium performance. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

Like the Barnes Triple-Shock X Bullets, the Tipped TSX bullets are made of 100% copper and contain no lead. They deliver the same "three strikes you're out" rule. Once as it strikes game, two as the bullet begins to open and a third impact when the cavity fully expands to deliver extra shock with maximum transferred energy. The added polymer tip creates a faster expansion rate as well as better long range ballistics. Tipped TSX bullets are ideal on medium-sized game like deer, pronghorn and sheep.

About the Manufacturer:



The history of Weatherby began in the mid-1940s when a young cartridge "wildcatter" named Roy Weatherby set out to change the world of firearm performance. Contrary to then-popular thinking (heavy bullets pushed at slow speeds), Roy believed that lightweight bullets traveling at super high speeds provided the best combination for one-shot kills. Based upon that philosophy, he spent the next decade developing the high-powered Weatherby Magnum cartridges for which the company is known today (.224, .240, .257, .270, 7mm, .300, .30-378, .340, .338-378, .375, .378, .416 and .460).

Throughout that period, Roy was also producing or re-chambering rifles designed specifically to accommodate his super-charged ammunition. At that time, he was producing his rifles on FN Mauser and French Brevex Magnum Mauser actions. However in 1957, Roy would again catch the attention of the shooting and hunting world with a proprietary action that is today recognized around the world as the Mark V.

The foundation for the Mark V was the need for a stronger, safer action, able to withstand tremendous pressure, and the possibility of blown primers and ruptured case heads (due to the unpredictability of early handloaded and wildcat cartridges). After nearly a half century of proven performance, the Mark V continues to be known as the world's strongest bolt action.

In 1970, Roy once again showed his entrepreneurial spirit when he introduced the Weatherby Vanguard action, borrowing many of the same characteristics and design elements of the Mark V with two locking lugs (vs. 9 in the Mark V).

The Weatherby lineage continued in 1983 when Roy's son, Ed Weatherby, assumed the leadership mantle of the company. Under Ed's guidance, the company has seen growth and expansion both in Mark V and Vanguard offerings, including the newest Vanguard rifles, which feature guaranteed SUB-MOA accuracy. In addition to rifles, we offer a full line of Semi-Automatic and Pump shotguns, as well as accessories, apparel and collectibles.

The innovation and pacesetting performance associated with the Weatherby name spans 70 years. Yet, while our place in history is firmly established, it is the prospects for the future that shine brightest of all.
