Federal Premium 243 Winchester 85 Grain Trophy Copper ammunition delivers the precision and terminal performance serious hunters demand for medium-game hunting. This 20-round box features Federal's Trophy Copper projectile—a bonded, polymer-tipped bullet engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration on everything from antelope to moose-sized game.
The 85-grain Trophy Copper bullet achieves a muzzle velocity of 3,200 feet per second from the 243 Winchester cartridge, generating a flat trajectory that minimizes holdover adjustments at extended ranges. The copper-construction projectile provides superior penetration compared to traditional lead-core bullets while the polymer tip initiates reliable expansion upon impact. This combination translates to predictable, humane performance across a range of hunting distances and conditions.
This ammunition suits bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic platforms, and lever-action rifles chambered in 243 Winchester. Hunters pursuing varmints, deer, elk, and similarly-sized game benefit from the flat-shooting characteristics and retained velocity downrange. The 243 Winchester's moderate recoil and accuracy potential make it an effective choice for hunters seeking balance between power and shootability, particularly in hunting applications requiring multiple precise shots.
Each box contains 20 rounds—the standard Federal Premium packaging for centerfire rifle ammunition. Federal's manufacturing quality ensures consistent loading, reliable ignition, and tight velocity spreads that support the inherent accuracy of modern hunting rifles.
