The .243 Winchester, or 6x52mm, is a popular sporting rifle cartridge, most commonly used in hunting applications. Developed as a varmint round to utilize a combination of lightweight bullets and high muzzle velocities, the .243 has been adopted for many popular hunting applications, from small game and varmint control to big game hunting. Considered a "light" round, it is not used for larger big game, but is widely used for deer, antelope, and wild hogs. The most popular use for the .243 is for varmint and coyote hunting, due to the high-speed long range capabilities of the bullets.
The popularity of the .243 grew due to a high velocity, flat shooting cartridge with low recoil and extreme accuracy. Ammunition options have expanded with the growth of the .243 popularity, ranging from lightweight 55 grain high-speed rounds to 100 grain heavier hunting rounds. Clark Armory offers many different .243 ammo options, catered to fit any application you are looking for.
