Norma Ammunition: .243 Win 76 GR Tipstrike - Box of 20

The .243 Winchester, a round that revolutionized medium-sized game hunting, was born from the innovative mind of Warren Page in the early fifties. By necking down the .308 case, Page aimed to create a light deer rifle that retained the high-velocity advantages of .22-caliber rounds for varmint hunting. Winchester's commercialization in 1955 solidified its place in the hunting world. Today, the .243 Win is celebrated globally for its flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making it a preferred choice for hunting medium-sized game.

Despite its advantages, the .243 Win's use in varmint hunting has not reached the same level of popularity, an intriguing fact given its superior wind-bucking capabilities. In Europe, its application faces legal limitations, with Scotland being the only place it meets the big game cartridge requirements for hunting larger game than roe deer.

For small game and varmint, 70-85 grain bullets are ideal, yet their rapid expansion limits the necessary penetration for larger game. Bullets in the 90-100 grain range offer a better solution, providing the required penetration for a quick and humane kill. While there have been one-shot kills on larger animals, the .243 Win is not recommended for hunting elk or similar sized game.

Hunting edible birds and foxes? The full metal jacketed bullets of the .243 Win outperform their .22-caliber counterparts, offering superior results.
