This premium rifle cartridge, identified by the product code G240100SR, is meticulously crafted to deliver superior accuracy and devastating terminal performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of medium game and long-range varmint applications. If you own a rifle chambered in the iconic .240 Weatherby Magnum and are searching for ammunition that unlocks its full potential, this 100-grain Spitzer load offers a compelling solution.

Unpacking the Power of the .240 Weatherby Magnum

The .240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge is renowned in the shooting world for its exceptional speed. Developed by Roy Weatherby himself, it was designed to push bullet velocities to extreme limits, resulting in a remarkably flat shooting trajectory. This characteristic is paramount for hunters who often encounter shots across vast open plains or require precise aim at extended distances. When a bullet travels faster, it spends less time in the air, meaning gravity and wind have less time to act upon it, leading to less drop and drift.

The 100-grain Spitzer bullet, a cornerstone of this Weatherby Select Plus offering, perfectly complements the cartridge's high-velocity design. The Spitzer (pointed) shape, combined with a boat tail design, minimizes air resistance and maximizes ballistic coefficient, ensuring the bullet retains energy and velocity over longer ranges. This aerodynamic efficiency translates directly into superior downrange energy delivery and a more predictable flight path, even in challenging conditions.

Who is This Ammunition For?

• Deer Hunters: Those pursuing whitetail, mule deer, or similar-sized game will find the 100-grain Spitzer bullet delivers ample energy for clean, ethical harvests. Its high velocity ensures minimal lead on moving targets and a generous vital zone, even at moderate to long ranges.
• Antelope and Pronghorn Hunters: For these fast-moving, often-at-long-range targets on open terrain, the flat trajectory and high speed of the .240 Weatherby Magnum are simply unbeatable. It dramatically simplifies holdovers and makes connecting with distant game more achievable.
• Long-Range Varmint and Predator Hunters: While powerful, the 100-grain Spitzer can also be effectively used for larger varmints like coyotes, wolves, or even bobcats, especially when extended range shots are common. Its precision allows for accurate shot placement on smaller targets.
• Hunters Seeking Minimal Recoil with Magnum Performance: Compared to larger magnum cartridges, the .240 Weatherby Magnum offers a more manageable recoil impulse, allowing for faster follow-up shots and greater comfort during extended shooting sessions, without sacrificing the benefits of high velocity.
• Precision Shooters and Target Enthusiasts: While primarily a hunting round, its inherent accuracy and flat trajectory make it a rewarding cartridge for those who enjoy pushing their rifle's limits on the range, aiming for tight groups at distance.

The Problem It Solves: Making Difficult Shots Simpler

Imagine a scenario where your dream buck appears at 300 yards across an open field. With many cartridges, this shot would require significant holdover calculations and precise range estimation, adding layers of complexity and potential for error. The Weatherby Select Plus .240 Weatherby Magnum 100 Grain Spitzer significantly reduces this complexity. Its incredibly flat trajectory means less bullet drop, simplifying aiming and increasing confidence in your shot placement. This ammunition minimizes the variables, allowing the hunter to focus on technique and trigger control, rather than compensating for excessive bullet drop. It provides the confidence needed to take ethical, long-range shots when the opportunity arises.

Key Features and Performance Metrics

The Weatherby G240100SR Select Plus ammunition is engineered to the highest standards, ensuring consistency and reliability from every single round.

• Caliber: .240 Weatherby Magnum
• Bullet Weight: 100 Grains
• Bullet Type: Spitzer. This aerodynamically efficient bullet design ensures excellent downrange velocity retention and a flat trajectory. The Spitzer bullet is designed for controlled expansion upon impact, delivering decisive energy transfer.
• Optimized Powders: Weatherby utilizes carefully selected propellant powders that are specifically matched to the .240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, maximizing velocity while maintaining consistent pressures and clean burning.
• Premium Brass: Each cartridge is loaded into high-quality brass cases, known for their durability, consistent neck tension, and reliability during extraction and ejection. This also makes them suitable for reloaders, although the factory ammunition’s performance is difficult to beat.
• Consistent Primers: Reliable ignition is critical for accuracy and consistency. Weatherby uses dependable primers that provide a uniform spark for consistent powder ignition.

Ballistic Advantage: What Does "Flat Shooting" Really Mean?

The term "flat shooting" is often used, but what does it mean in practical terms for the .240 Weatherby Magnum 100 gr Spitzer? It means that within common hunting ranges (e.g., out to 300-400 yards), the bullet's drop is minimal compared to less powerful cartridges. This significantly reduces the need for large scope adjustments or "hold over" estimation. For instance, if sighted in at 200 yards, the bullet drop at 300 yards might be only a few inches, making it a "point and shoot" scenario within that range for many applications. This ballistic efficiency is a hallmark of Weatherby ammunition and is a primary reason why hunters choose the .240 Weatherby Magnum.

Terminal Performance: Delivering the Knockdown Power

The 100-grain Spitzer bullet in the .240 Weatherby Magnum is designed not just for velocity but also for effective terminal performance on game. Upon striking the target, the Spitzer bullet is engineered for controlled expansion. This means it expands rapidly to create a wide wound channel, delivering a significant hydrostatic shock, but also retains enough mass to penetrate vital organs. The goal is a quick, humane harvest, and the design of this bullet facilitates that. For medium-sized game like deer, a well-placed shot with this ammunition results in rapid energy transfer and ethical kills.
