Weatherby Select Plus 340 Weatherby Mag 225 grain Spire Point Rifle Ammo, 20/Box – H340225SP

When choosing a rifle and ammunition for the task the 340 Weatherby made the choice easy. Loaded with 250 grain nosler partition even the big boys drop like lightning hit them between the horns. Phenomenal performance on plains game. African animals are tough and the 340 Weatherby delivers performance at extended range.

I have used my 340 Weatherby for Elk hunting for 25 years, and it performs superbly at all distances. I use handloads with a 210 gr. Nosler partition bullet and 90 grs. of H4831 powder. Needless to say, it packs a lethal punch on all North American game.

I was shooting at a steep downward angle and the bull was 413 yards away. He was facing towards me at slight angle I held at the base of his neck and shoulder. At the shot the bull tumbled down hill about 75 yds. I recovered the bullet intact just under the skin on the left ham it almost went completely through him from one end to the other. That was the 17th elk I have taken with my .340 I have always used 225 grain loading Outstanding

To much of a good thing you bet, using 225 grain Barnes triple shock bullets on buffalo, elk, deer and African plains game I have never had a cripple or had to use a second shot

Positively love this caliber. Took an elk with it last year, and it did the job perfectly. Great caliber!

I have used my .340 loaded with the 225 grain Barnes TSX very successfully to take water buffalo, a banteng and scrub bulls here in Australia. Then in Africa I used it to take lion, lioness and plains game. It is a fantastic all round, do it all caliber.

Superior ammunition. This Weatherby factory ammo- 225 grain TTSX- shot well under MOA at 100 yds. from sandbags with a 9 power scope mounted on a stock 340 Weatherby Deluxe. In the field the results were devastating. One shot instant kill on a tough South Texas Nilgai from 100 meters. Instantaneous death – no kicking, twitching, nothing moving after the animal dropped with a broadside chest shot behind the shoulder. By comparison, a friend’s 250 grain Swift A frame, identical shot placement and … Read More

I used my 340 Weatherby Mag on Alaskan Brown bear on Kodiak Island. The ammunition I used was, the Weatherby Nosler 250 gr. Partition round. One shot, the thousand lb browney was down. There was no need for a second shot. I asked the outfitter before the trip if the 340 Weatherby Mag was sufficient for those big browns? His answer was short and quick. He said ” With that 340 Weatherby Mag I sure wouldn’t worry about it.”

My 340 Accumark has been my elk hunting rifle for about 25 years. You can kill an elk with any caliber but bigger, heavier, and faster is better. That is why I prefer my 340 WB.

From big hogs in California to bears in AK. The 340 has knocked them all down with ease. 225 X bullets are great in this caliber. It does have a bit of a kick.
