Leaning on decades of ballistic knowledge and proven performance, Weatherby is now loading some of the industry’s most under-served hunting cartridges.
Tested and developed to lead the industry in velocity and terminal performance, you can expect hand loaded precision in commercially produced ammo. Just like our standard Weatherby cartridges we load premium hunting bullets, known for tight tolerances and accurate groups.

Turned on a CNC lathe, Hammer Bullets use a unique solid copper blend that is designed for maximum terminal performance. Each Hammer Bullet used in our production offerings are tailor-made for Weatherby ammo. We call these the Hammer Custom Bullets (HCB). HCBs in the Weatherby line-up feature unique bullet weights and not the standard 140 gr, 180 gr, ect. the industry is used to seeing. We found during development and testing that these custom weights produced the best accuracy and highest velocity making the Weatherby & Hammer combination deadly. HCBs are a modification of the Hammer Hunters and are optimized for Weatherby’s large-capacity cases and superior ballistics. The bearing surface of Hammer bullets incorporates the patented PDR design (parabolic drag reduction). A continuous parabolic up and down curve, from the shoulder to the boat tail, reduces friction in the bore which equates to decreased pressure and the ability to achieve higher velocities. The PDR design on the bearing surface has proven to be very consistent and forgiving.
The Elite Hunter bullet is made with the longest possible hybrid ogive (nose). As the bearing surface ends, the tangent ogive begins, resulting in much less sensitivity to seating depth. As you move beyond the tangent ogive, the shape changes to a secant ogive, maximizing efficiency in the wind. The long-nosed Elite Hunter projectiles produce the highest possible Ballistic Coefficients. Elite Hunter bullets also incorporate a slightly thinner J4 Precision hunting jacket, which allows the projectile to penetrate 2″ to 3″ before rapidly expanding. Upon expansion, the projectile sheds most of its weight producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity in the vital area. Berger Elite Hunter bullets dump their energy where it is most effective – inside the animal.
A bonded bullet with Swift’s signature black tips designed for hunting and long-range efficiency. Pure copper jacket is progressively tapered to control expansion development throughout a wide range of velocities. Jacket and core are joined together using proven Swift bonding technology. Long driving band for improved rotational stability. Its sleek design and advanced secant ogive nose profile allows for high ballistic coefficient that produce flat trajectories for downrange hunting, making it a perfect match for Weatherby Cartridges.
