To celebrate Weatherby’s 80th Anniversary, we’ve brought back the classic box art from the 1950s and 60s in a limited run of three legendary cartridges. These collectible boxes honor our heritage while holding the same precision ammunition trusted by hunters and shooters today. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—each box is a one-time release.
For eight decades, Weatherby has pushed the boundaries of velocity, energy, and performance. Alongside that innovation came iconic packaging—bold colors and clean design that represented the cutting edge of the 1950s and 60s.
To mark our 80th year, we’ve reissued a limited run of retro-style ammunition boxes in three of Roy Weatherby’s most defining cartridges:
• .300 Weatherby Magnum – Introduced in 1945, this ultra-versatile .30 caliber round was said to be fifty years ahead of its time and remains a gold standard for big game hunting.
• .257 Weatherby Magnum – Roy’s personal favorite, this flat-shooting speedster became one of Weatherby’s most beloved cartridges, balancing long-range accuracy with big game capability.
• .224 Weatherby Magnum – Launched in 1964, this ground-up design pushed .22 caliber performance to new heights, delivering blistering velocity for varmints and predators alike.
These boxes aren’t just ammunition—they’re a piece of Weatherby history. Once this run is sold out, production will return to our modern packaging, and the retro boxes will live on only in the hands of collectors and hunters who secured them.
