Weatherby Select Hornady Interlock Rifle Ammuntion .340 Weatherby Magnum 250 Grain 2963 Fps 20 Rounds
Introduced in 1963 the 340 Weatherby was designed as a response to the 338 Winchester Mag. However Roy took advantage of the longer case to pack in more powder for greater velocity. And it shoots heavier 338 bullets at higher velocities as well a decidedly powerful combination. Ideally suited for animals the size of elk or larger the 340 can also be used by deer hunters with lighter bullet weights.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 340 Weatherby Magnum was introduced by Roy Weatherby in 1962, following (and answering) Winchester's 338 Winchester Magnum. Based on the 300 Weatherby Magnum case necked up, the 340 Weatherby Magnum requires a full-length (375 H&H-length) action, but with much greater case capacity it exceeds the 338 Winchester Magnum by at least 200 feet per second with all bullet weights. It is thus a fine cartridge for elk and big bears, its primary limitation being that recoil is also increased. Those who can handle it maintain it is one of Weatherby's best! Weatherby remains the primary supplier of both rifles and ammunition. Weatherby factory loads include a 200-grain bullet at 3221 feet per second; 225-grain bullet at 3066; and 250-grain bullet at 2963. —
