Product Overview
Federal American Eagle 75-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .243 Winchester load made for varmints and predators. The bullet is a plain hollow point with nothing in its nose. It leaves the muzzle at 3,375 fps with 1,897 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .234.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.6 inches at 300 and 20.6 inches at 400. From a 100-yard zero it drops 25.7 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's Premier 75-grain AccuTip leaves the muzzle at the same 3,375 fps on a G1 BC of .330 and drops 16.8 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Hornady's Superformance Varmint 75-grain V-Max starts 205 fps faster and drops 14.7 inches off that zero.
- Ties Remington's Premier 75-grain AccuTip for the softest recoil of the 75-grain .243 loads
- Leaves the muzzle 135 fps faster than Hornady's Custom 87-grain V-MAX
- A plain hollow point, where every other varmint load compared carries a polymer tip
- The lowest G1 BC of the .243 varmint loads, and the most drop at 400 yards of the 75-grain loads from either zero
- Remington's Premier 75-grain AccuTip matches its muzzle speed and its recoil and drops 3.8 inches less at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
