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
$249.85Manufacturer 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 $1.25 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! -
Browning BXR 243 Win 97 Grain Rapid Expansion Matrix Tip – 200 Rounds
$259.85Manufacturer Browning Condition New Bullet Weight 97 Grain Bullet Type Polymer Tipped Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 243 Winchester Manufacturer SKU B192102431 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 00020892222182 Cost Per Round $1.3 per round Are the whitetail in your neighborhood getting unruly? Have you recently woken up to “blacktail deer rule” painted on your garage door? Have antelope been mailing you threatening letters? Do you just not like mule deer? Then it’s time to take action the best way you can: with a 243 Win hunting rifle. It’s time to bring out the Browning BXR!
This round is loaded with the heavy 97 grain bullet you want for pinning down medium game. It’s a Rapid Expansion Matrix Tip, which features a proprietary copper/polymer tip that fragments apart the instant it collides with hide. That fragmentation is the driving force behind the REMT bullet’s large expansion diameter, which alongside its weight and toughness ensures the broad, deep wound channel that does a real number on deer.
This ammo’s low-drag, flat-shooting and hard-hitting REMT bullets are seated atop first-rate nickel-plated brass cases: just as corrosion resistant as they are reloadable, and sure to help any rifle feed and extract just a bit more reliably. -

Hornady American Whitetail 243 Win 100 Grain InterLock – 200 Rounds
$269.85Manufacturer 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 $1.35 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. -

Deer fever, to be more precise, for which there is only one known cure. But before you set out to tackle the forest’s mightiest whitetail with your 243 Win rifle, make sure you’re stocked up on Browning’s excellent BXR label ammo!
The Rapid Expansion Matrix Tip is specifically engineered to take down whitetail, blacktail and antelope. The ballistically efficient 97 grain bullet follows a flat trajectory while simultaneously retaining exceptional energy. The bullet nearly reaches 400 yards before it conserves less than the minimum 1,000 ft lbs of energy typically recommended for bagging bucks.
The Rapid Expansion Matrix Tip bullet makes effective use of so much kinetic energy. On impact its copper/polymer Matrix Tip disintegrates while its precision nose cavity initiates massive outward energy transfer coupled with wide terminal expansion. With good aim you’re assured the clean kill which means no more tracking for the day!
This ammo’s nickel-plated brass cases are more than just reloadable. Nickel protects sensitive brass against forming abrasive corrosion, and its sleekness provides additional assurance that this high-quality American-made ammo will feed and extract like clockwork. -

Sierra 243 Win 90 Grain GameChanger – 20 Rounds
$44.85Manufacturer Sierra Bullets Condition New Bullet Weight 90 Grain Bullet Type Polymer Tipped Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 243 Winchester Manufacturer SKU A4103--02 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 612710134250 Cost Per Round $2.05 to $2.24 per round It’s not enough to shoot at the deer. You also want to hit the deer – and hit it hard enough to sink its nose straight into the same dirt it was just standing on. That’s the only thing Sierra’s GameChanger 243 Win ammo is designed to do (which isn’t to say that hogs are big fans of this ammo).
This round’s 90 grain bullet is also known as the Tipped GameKing. Its sharp polymer tip compliments the bullet’s hyper-concentric and streamlined copper jacket to promote a flatter trajectory, increased wind resistance and higher-energy impact. The GameChanger may offer comparable accuracy to Sierra’s award-winning MatchKing, but its jacket is significantly thicker to promote deeper penetration through soft tissue. The GameChanger also changes the game by delivering wide, rapid and uniform terminal expansion – aka the reason why Bambi’s mom ain’t coming back.
This ammunition is loaded in Sedalia, MO with its manufacturer’s reloadable brass cases, as well as the high-quality primers and powder that consistent, reliable performance demands. -
