Description
The 340 Weatherby Magnum: Roy Weatherby’s answer to the 338 Win Mag! But thanks to its longer case and bigger propellant charge, the 340 WBY dishes out an even flatter trajectory – and even deadlier terminal ballistics.
rWeatherby outfitted this large game hunter’s friend (and elk’s worst enemy) with a InterLock bullet. That’s Hornady’s fine work, with a jacket and core that are doubly locked together to lengthen wound channel depth. The InterLock’s 225 grain weight, sleek secant ogive profile, and 3,000 fps muzzle velocity (26†bbl) all contribute to its 0.404 G1 ballistic coefficient: a trajectory that reaches 200-yard zero with 3,215 ft lbs of energy and then drops -7†at 300 yards. Once the InterLock’s exposed lead tip and grooved, tapered jacket both kick into gear, it’s lights out for mister deer.
rWyoming may be the last state alphabetically, but it’s the most important state for Weatherby rifle enthusiasts. That’s where this ammo gets its super-high-quality brass cases, Boxer primers and low-residue powder. Weatherby sure knows how to make Weatherby ammunition!
