Are you preparing for a challenging elk hunt in the high country? Do you need a cartridge that offers the flat trajectory necessary for long-range shots on open plains?

The Weatherby Select Plus 7mm Weatherby Magnum 160-grain Nosler Spitzer Partition is engineered to address these very needs, providing solutions for a vast array of hunting scenarios where precision and power are non-negotiable.

Unveiling the Power of the 7mm Weatherby Magnum Cartridge

The 7mm Weatherby Magnum is a legendary cartridge, often celebrated for its exceptional velocity and flat-shooting characteristics. Developed by Roy Weatherby, this cartridge was designed from the ground up to push bullets at blistering speeds, translating directly into flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy compared to many standard 7mm cartridges. Its belted magnum design ensures reliable headspacing and allows for higher pressures, contributing to its formidable performance.

What truly sets the 7mm Weatherby Magnum apart is its perfect blend of manageable recoil (for a magnum) and impressive ballistic performance. It bridges the gap between smaller, faster calibers and larger, heavier options, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of North American and international big game species. For hunters who prioritize velocity and a minimal bullet drop over extended distances, the 7mm Weatherby Magnum in the Weatherby Select Plus line delivers exactly what's needed. This cartridge is a testament to Weatherby's commitment to speed and power, embodying the very philosophy on which the company was founded.

Nosler Partition: A Proven Performer in the Field

At the heart of this Weatherby Select Plus offering lies the iconic 160-grain Nosler Spitzer Partition bullet. The Nosler Partition is not just a bullet; it's a testament to over 70 years of hunting success, known globally for its dependable terminal performance. Its unique design features a dual-core construction separated by an internal partition. This innovative engineering ensures controlled expansion of the front core upon impact, creating a wide wound channel, while the rear core retains its integrity and weight, driving through bone and muscle for deep penetration and reliable exit wounds.

Why is the Nosler Partition so highly regarded by experienced hunters?

• Consistent Expansion: The front lead core is designed to expand rapidly and dramatically, transferring massive energy to the target.
• Deep Penetration: The solid rear portion of the bullet ensures it continues to drive through the animal, reaching vital organs even on large, tough game.
• Weight Retention: Despite significant expansion, the Partition bullet typically retains a high percentage of its original weight, contributing to its penetration capabilities.
• Reliability: From whitetail deer to grizzly bears, the Nosler Partition has proven its effectiveness and reliability on a diverse range of game animals worldwide.

When combined with the high velocity of the 7mm Weatherby Magnum, the 160-grain Nosler Spitzer Partition creates an incredibly effective hunting projectile. It's ideal for animals like elk, moose, caribou, and larger bears, where a combination of rapid energy dump and deep penetration is critical for a clean, ethical harvest.

Mastering Ballistics: Speed, Energy, and Downrange Performance

Understanding the ballistic data of your ammunition is crucial for maximizing your success in the field. The Weatherby Select Plus 7mm Weatherby Magnum 160 gr Nosler Spitzer Partition boasts impressive figures that translate directly into superior field performance:

• Muzzle Velocity: 3200 feet per second (fps)
  This exceptional muzzle velocity is a hallmark of Weatherby Magnum cartridges. A velocity of 3200 fps means the bullet exits the barrel at a scorching speed, contributing to a flatter trajectory over long distances. For hunters, this translates to less need for elevation adjustments on shots out to considerable ranges, simplifying shot placement and increasing hit probability. High velocity also means the bullet reaches the target faster, reducing the amount of time external factors like wind can affect its flight path.
• Muzzle Energy: 3638 foot-pounds (ft-lbs)
  Muzzle energy represents the kinetic energy the bullet possesses as it leaves the barrel. At 3638 ft-lbs, this ammunition delivers a tremendous amount of energy to the target. This energy is vital for rapid energy transfer and hydrostatic shock, which effectively incapacitates game. For large, resilient animals, ample kinetic energy is paramount for achieving a quick, humane kill. The combination of high velocity and a substantial bullet weight like 160 grains ensures that a significant portion of this energy is retained downrange, allowing for effective terminal performance even at extended distances.

These ballistic characteristics make the Weatherby Select Plus 7mm Weatherby Magnum a superb choice for hunters who frequently encounter opportunities at varying distances or who target animals that require significant knockdown power.

The versatility of the 7mm Weatherby Magnum paired with the 160-grain Nosler Partition bullet makes this ammunition highly suitable for a broad spectrum of hunting applications:

• North American Big Game: This load is an outstanding choice for elk, moose, caribou, and large bears (black and grizzly). Its ability to penetrate deeply and expand reliably makes it effective on the dense bone and muscle of these animals. It is also an excellent choice for mule deer and larger whitetail deer, providing ample power for clean kills.
• Long-Range Hunting: Thanks to its high velocity and the ballistic coefficient of the Spitzer Partition bullet, this ammunition offers a flat trajectory that minimizes holdover at extended ranges, making it perfect for open country hunting.
• Diverse Terrain: Whether you're hunting in dense timber or across vast open plains, the terminal performance of the Nosler Partition ensures effective results.
• Ethical Hunting: The combination of speed, energy, and bullet performance significantly increases the likelihood of a rapid, humane kill, minimizing animal suffering.

Achieving Peak Performance with Your 7mm Weatherby Magnum

To get the most out of your Weatherby Select Plus ammunition, consider these factors:

• Rifle Maintenance: Regularly clean your rifle's barrel to maintain optimal accuracy. Fouling can degrade precision, especially with high-velocity cartridges.
• Scope Zeroing: Always confirm your rifle's zero with the exact ammunition you plan to hunt with. Different loads, even of the same caliber, can have different points of impact.
• Practice: Familiarity with your rifle and ammunition is key. Practice at various distances to understand bullet drop and wind drift, particularly with a powerful cartridge like the 7mm Weatherby Magnum.
• Proper Shot Placement: Even with the most powerful and effective ammunition, ethical hunting always relies on precise shot placement to target vital organs.

The Weatherby Select Plus 7mm Weatherby Magnum 160 gr Nosler Spitzer Partition is designed to give you an undeniable edge in the field. It empowers hunters with the tools necessary for responsible and successful big game pursuit.
