243 Ammo
Used to shoot just about every game animal found in North America, the .243 Winchester is a highly versatile sporting cartridge originally designed for varmints. While most firearm manufacturers offer a model in this caliber today, the Winchester Model 70 and 88 were the first guns to be chambered for it in the mid 1950s.
.243 Winchester ammunition belongs firmly in the "light and fast" camp but fires a wide variety of bullets weighing in at anywhere from 55 to 105 grains. As you might imagine, this results in a range of velocities between 3,000 and 4,000 feet per second. Heavy soft point bullets are ideal for taking deer, hogs, and other midsize game, while lighter jacketed hollow point projectiles fragment quickly to drop coyotes and other pests in their tracks - you'll find cartridges loaded with both bullet types for sale here at Widener's.
Many manufacturers produce .243 Winchester ammo, often with the latest polymer-tipped designs that deliver improved terminal performance. Federal, Winchester, Remington, and Nosler are a few notable players in this market.

Winchester Super-X 243 Win 80 Grain JSP – 200 Rounds
$258.85Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 80 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Soft-Point (JSP) Use Type varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 243 Winchester Manufacturer SKU X2431 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 40020892200317 Cost Per Round $1.29 per round You got nothing against a good .22 cal. But for your money, the 243 Win is the cartridge to beat when it comes to varmint hunting. If you like giving rodents and coyotes 6mm tickets to heaven, then Winchester Super-X is the ammo to beat for varmint hunting.
We know what you’re thinking: “Is dear old Uncle Widener trying to pass off deer ammo as varmint ammo?” Not at all! This round’s heavier 80 grain bullet weight is in fact suitable for bagging Bambis. But its jacketed soft point bullet, which isn’t built for very deep penetration, is not. The bullet’s fast terminal expansion and fragmentation are right in the slot as far as small game hunting goes. It is also a flat-flying bullet, with -1.7” drop at 200 after 100 zero.
Winchester’s shiny reloadable brass cases are always worth a handloader’s time. Maybe put a few TTSXs in there afterward and turn your varmint gun into a deer gun. We can’t ship this case of American-made ammo to your house at a rate of 3,350 fps, but we still ship awfully fast! -
Hornady American Whitetail 243 Win 100 Grain InterLock – 200 Rounds
$264.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 100 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point Boat Tail (SP-BT) Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 243 Winchester Manufacturer SKU 8047 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255380474 Cost Per Round $1.32 per round The 243 Win caught fire as soon as it hit the deer hunting scene in the ‘50s. It remains a popular whitetail load to this day. But bullet technology has come a long way since Eisenhower was in office and Howdy Doody ruled the airwaves. Now we have the InterLock!
Hornady furnishes this American Whitetail round with a 100 grain InterLock. It is a soft point projectile, which expands when its soft lead tip presses against even softer deer meat. At low-velocity impact, the InterLock’s internally notched jacket promotes fuller and deadlier expansion.
The InterLock’s key feature isn’t visible. The interior of the bullet’s jacket protrudes into its one-piece solid lead core. The InterLock also features a cannelure closer to its tip that serves the same purpose. These features keep the bullet more intact following high-velocity impact, which helps it tunnel a hole right through Mr. Buck’s torso.
Hornady has always loaded their ammo in Grand Island, NE. That’s where this ammo got its reusable brass cases, as well as the primers and propellant it needs to hit a steady 2,960 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24” barrel. -

This cartridge features a 100 grain soft point projectile. Its sleek profile ensures that the bullet conserves at least 1,000 ft lbs of kinetic energy until it streaks past approximately 340 yards. Its rigid copper-alloy jacket keeps the bullet intact enough to penetrate deeply into a quarry’s torso. Its unjacketed tip enables the core to produce rapid deformation that punches a deleterious hole through dense muscle tissue. A potent combination of features that will end any good marksman’s hunt on a successful note!
These Minnesotan-made cartridges promise problem-free functionality thanks to their flawless brass cases, sensitive primers and consistent charges of low-fouling propellant. Is this ammo reloadable? You betcha! -
