Shop 243 Ammo- Ideal Choice For Hunting Small To Medium Game
243 Winchester is known as one of the best small to medium-game hunting cartridges in America.
Introduced in 1955 and became popular in the industry as one of the best whitetail deer cartridges.
The .243 is based on a necked down .308 Winchester, introduced only three years earlier.
The cartridge can be extremely accurate to 300 yards (270 m) and beyond but may not retain enough terminal energy to drop a medium game at that distance reliably.
Performance-wise, the .243 Winchester closely matches the 6mm Creedmoor, but the .243 Win has more bullet and casing options.
Its accuracy, mild recoil, and wide ammo selection make it a great choice for hunting deer, coyotes, and feral hogs.
What is 243 ammo good for?
- Whitetail deer: A top choice for hunting whitetail deer.
- Blacktail deer: Commonly used for harvesting blacktail deer.
- Pronghorns and mule deer: Can be used to harvest pronghorns and mule deer with heavier rounds.
- Varmint hunting: Lighter rounds are used for varmint hunting.
