In the realm of long-range big game hunting, few cartridges can match the prowess of Weatherby's legendary creation, first introduced in the 1960s. This cartridge stands as a testament to ballistic innovation and raw power. It is engineered for those who demand nothing short of excellence when pursuing formidable quarry at extended distances.
The essence of this cartridge's superiority lies in its ability to deliver over 5000 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle with a .338-sized bullet. Such immense force ensures that no target within range remains unchallenged. Its design, based on necking down the robust 378 case to accommodate a .338 projectile, provides an exceptional blend of power and precision.
After its initial introduction as a wildcat round, it was reintroduced by Weatherby as a production cartridge in 1998 due to popular demand among discerning hunters and marksmen alike. The result is an extremely powerful yet flat-shooting solution tailored for those who seek out long-range engagements with confidence.
Whether your quest leads you through vast plains or rugged mountainsides, this Weatherby creation equips you with unparalleled capability—making every shot count when it matters most.
