Product Overview
Fiocchi Backwoods Hunter 80-grain CHP is a solid copper hollow point .243 Winchester load made for whitetail and hogs. Copper through and through, the bullet has a hollow nose and nothing in it. It leaves the muzzle at 3,415 fps with 2,071 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .340.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 5.4 inches at 300 and 16.2 inches at 400 with 948 ft-lbs left. From a 100-yard zero it drops 20.3 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's own Hyperformance 80-grain TTSX adds a polymer tip, starts 140 fps slower and drops 18.0 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Hornady's Outfitter 80-grain CX is slower again and arrives at 400 yards with 655 ft-lbs.
- The fastest of the .243 hunting loads at the muzzle, and the most muzzle energy of them
- Carries 1,166 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- No lead in the bullet, so it can be used where lead-free ammunition is required
- Kicks harder than every other 80-grain load compared, about 10 percent more than Black Hills Gold's 80-grain CX in the same rifle
- Fiocchi states whitetail and hogs, so no maker statement stands behind it for anything larger
