Description

Hornady loads a 87 grain V-MAX polymer tip to a rated 3240 feet per second, producing about 2028 foot-pounds of energy. Hornady Custom ammunition pairs a proven bullet with carefully selected powders and quality brass, and every load is tested for consistent velocity and accuracy. With the V-MAX polymer-tipped bullet it is built for flat trajectory and rapid, explosive expansion on varmints and predators.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 243 Win 87gr V-MAX until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the .243 Winchester
The .243 Winchester was introduced in 1955 on the .308 case and quickly became one of the most popular dual-purpose cartridges in North America. Lighter bullets make it a flat-shooting varmint and predator round, while heavier soft points of around 100 grains are a proven choice for deer and pronghorn. Its mild recoil makes it a common first centerfire rifle for new and young hunters.
