Weatherby’s ammunition line has expanded with the introduction of two new bullet weights for big game from both Barnes TSX and Nosler Accubond.
The new TSX bullets are 180-grain in .300 and .30-378 Weatherby calibers. The new Accubond bullet loads are 200-grain rounds for the .340 and .338-378 Weatherby calibers.
Made of 100-percent copper and featuring solid-core construction, the Barnes TSX has gained a reputation for retaining virtually all of its weight upon impact while delivering superior terminal performance with lighter-weight bullets. The TSX’s nose cavity is specially designed to instantly open into four petals upon impact, expanding faster than traditional lead-core bullets. Razor-sharp edges give the bullet lethal cutting power and deep penetration. The bullet’s rings are precisely positioned to relieve firing pressure, allowing the TSX to be loaded at higher velocities.
A leading example of advanced bonded-core bullet technology, the Nosler Accubond is designed to fly true, penetrate deeply and retain a high percentage of weight, without causing extensive barrel fouling. The bullet’s fully tapered, heavy-alloy jacket is bonded to a special lead alloy core through a proprietary process. A polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. The Solid Base boat-tail configuration, together with the streamlined polymer tip, enhances the bullet’s long-range performance. The Solid Base design jacket acts as a platform for large-diameter mushroom and helps prevent bullet deformation during firing.
All Weatherby ammunition utilizes Norma Precision Brass with CNC-machined primer pockets produced to match-grade specifications. Norma High-Grade Premium Powder is standard for maximum velocity and energy. Specially-designed premium-grade primers provide positive ignition of the powder charges. Weatherby ammunition also features a double-radius Venturi shoulder design, which increases the velocity of escaping gases without increasing the pressure within the cartridge. As a result, higher velocity can be attained within standard pressure ranges.
