Product Overview
The Remington High Performance .243 Winchester pushes an 80-grain pointed soft point at 3350 feet per second, delivering 1993 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This lightweight bullet emphasizes velocity and flat trajectory over penetration—classic varmint hunting priorities. The pointed soft point design expands readily on impact while the copper jacket provides enough structure to reach vitals on smaller game.
At 80 grains and 3350 fps, this load offers one of the flattest trajectories available in factory .243 ammunition. The lighter bullet bucks less wind at shorter ranges and drops less at moderate distances, making holdover adjustments simpler. The G1 BC of 0.255 is modest, but adequate for the typical engagement ranges of varmint and predator hunting inside 250 yards.
This ammunition suits varmint hunters working prairie dog towns or groundhog fields where high velocity and rapid expansion matter more than retained weight. The 80-grain bullet also handles coyotes effectively at close to moderate range. Budget-conscious shooters will appreciate that Remington's High Performance line costs less than premium varmint ammunition while still delivering reliable expansion and accuracy for volume shooting.
- High velocity of 3350 fps delivers flat trajectory for simplified holdovers on varmints
- Affordable pricing allows high-volume shooting during extended varmint sessions
- Lightweight bullet reduces recoil for faster follow-up shots on prairie dog towns
- Pointed soft point expands reliably without the premium price of polymer-tipped bullets
- Low BC of 0.255 means significant wind drift and drop beyond 250 yards
- 80-grain weight lacks penetration for deer—strictly a varmint and predator load
- Exposed lead tip can deform during rough handling or aggressive feeding
- Rapid expansion may damage pelts on fur-bearing predators at close range
