Description
The Federal 243 85gr Barnes TSX load is built for shooters who want more from their .243 Win than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 85 grain Barnes Triple-Shock X all-copper hollow point to a rated 3200 feet per second, producing about 1933 foot-pounds of energy. The Barnes Triple-Shock X is an all-copper hollow point that expands into four sharp petals while retaining nearly all of its weight. Grooves in the shank reduce fouling and pressure, and the lead-free construction makes it legal in areas that restrict lead ammunition.

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 Federal 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 Federal 243 85gr Barnes TSX 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.
