Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 80462) is built for hunters who need a proven big-game cartridge they can count on. Hornady backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 90 gr bullet with an ELD-X design, matched to the .243 Winchester platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Hornady load built for that job.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .243 Winchester, a proven big-game cartridge with decades of field results behind it.
• The bullet weighs 90 gr, sized for the terminal performance this load is built around.
• The projectile is an ELD-X design, built to penetrate and transfer energy for a clean, ethical harvest.
• The case is Brass, the standard for reliable extraction and smooth reloading.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to work with before needing to reorder.
• Cases ship 10 boxes to a case, a useful case size for stocking a range or defensive supply.
• Cost works out to about $2.12 per round, affordable enough to shoot as much as you train.
• The box ships at approximately 0.95 lbs, worth knowing before you check out on a multi-box order.
• This is a centerfire cartridge, ignited by a replaceable primer rather than a rimfire priming ring.
• The ELD-X bullet’s Heat Shield polymer tip resists the aerodynamic heating that can deform a standard polymer tip at extended range, holding a high ballistic coefficient shot after shot.
• ELD-X is engineered to expand reliably across a huge velocity window, from point-blank to extended hunting range, without the inconsistency some polymer-tip bullets show at low impact velocity.
