What to know about .243 Winchester target ammo

The .243 Win has a growing presence in precision rifle competition, particularly PRS Production class. The 105gr Hornady BTHP and Sierra MatchKing offerings are designed for precision and produce mild recoil, allowing faster follow-up shots than .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor. Factory options are more limited than in those calibers, and many .243 competitors handload.
