Plenty of folks love the 243 for deer hunting, but everyone can agree that it’s a superlative varmint hunting round. This American-made cartridge is going to please everybody thanks to its accurate 58 grain polymer tipped projectile. Loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,850 fps, its going to achieve the 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient it needs to hit a 300-yard target with approximately 885 ft lbs of energy – more than enough power to finish off a rodent or coyote in one hit.
This round’s bullet delivers exactly the kind of terminal fragmentation you want while hunting varmints and predators. When the polymer tip collides with its target, it immediately begins pressing downward into the lead core’s nose cavity while simultaneously upsetting the thin alloy jacket. After meeting with only minimal resistance the bullet begins bursting apart into shrapnel. It’s not the deep wound cavity you’d want for taking deer, but to small, thin-skinned critters it’s super deadly.
