The Pro-Hunter bullet makes the reliable Classic Rifle cartridges even better. The bullet quality is considered among the best in the business. Sierra's copper jackets are extremely uniform and their specifications are 3 times better than are found in standard jackets. Sierra's core has a weight tolerance of just three-tenths of a grain for consistent performance from shot to shot. Pro-Hunters are made under the eye of trained inspectors and every single production run is tested before it hits the shelf. Combine Pro-Hunter's quality with Federal's dedication to reliable powders, primers and brass, and you've just put an outstanding cartridge in your chamber.

Introduced in 1955, the 243 Winchester is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down. It was the first commercial cartridge added to the "308 family," with a 2.045-inch case designed to fit into Winchester's Model 88 lever action and short bolt actions. Winchester saw it as a combination "varmint and big-game" round, with an 80-grain varmint bullet at 3550 feet per second and a 100-grain deer bullet at 2960. Apparently the public saw it the same way; the 243 Winchester is the world's most popular 6mm cartridge, with current loadings running from a 55-grain varmint load at nearly 4000 fps to 108 grains. 6mm bullets hold up better in wind than smaller calibers, so the 243 remains a favorite for long-range varminting. With heavier bullets it is very effective on deer-sized game. Its attributes are accuracy, light recoil, and deadly effect; it is a standard choice for beginning hunters. Because of its popularity factory loads are legion, and most rifle manufacturers offer it. — Craig Boddington
