How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Remington High Performance 80-grain PSP is a pointed soft point .243 Winchester load made for big game. The jacket tapers to a point with the lead left bare at the tip. It leaves the muzzle at 3,350 fps with 1,993 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .255.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.4 inches at 300 and 19.7 inches at 400 with 676 ft-lbs left. From a 100-yard zero it drops 24.8 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's Backwoods Hunter 80-grain is a copper hollow point at the same bullet weight, 65 fps faster on a G1 BC of .340 and drops 16.2 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Hornady's Outfitter 80-grain CX arrives at 400 yards with 655 ft-lbs.
- The most muzzle energy of the 80-grain loads compared apart from Fiocchi's Backwoods Hunter 80-grain
- Carries 907 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- An exposed-lead soft point, the only conventional hunting bullet among the 80-grain .243 loads
- The lowest G1 BC of the 80-grain .243 loads, so it sheds speed fastest of them
- A lead core, where the other four 80-grain .243 loads are copper, so it is the one that is out where lead-free ammunition is required
