What to know about .243 Winchester varmint ammo

Lightweight 55–75gr polymer-tipped bullets at 3,600+ fps make the .243 Win devastating on prairie dogs, coyotes, and groundhogs at extended range. These bullets fragment violently on impact — ideal for pest control where you don't want ricochet risk. The .243 Win reaches out farther than any rimfire varmint cartridge and hits harder than .223 Remington at distance. The downside is cost — roughly 3–4x what you'd pay for .223 Rem varmint loads.
