Description
The Federal 243 Win 85gr Trophy Copper load is built for shooters who want more from their .243 Winchester than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 85 grain Trophy Copper tipped copper to a rated 3200 feet per second, producing about 1933 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Premium Trophy Copper uses a polymer-tipped, lead-free copper bullet that starts expanding quickly and retains almost all of its weight. A boat-tail and tip give it a flat trajectory for longer shots on big game.

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 Win 85gr Trophy Copper 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.
