The Federal ELD-X .243 Winchester 90gr load (Federal part no. P243ELDX1) is built around a 90-grain bullet and rated at 3150 fps at the muzzle. The match-accurate, hard-hitting bullet pairs an extremely high ballistic coefficient with a polymer tip that resists deformation and starts expansion at extreme range. A concentric copper jacket and robust shank round out a heavy-for-caliber design, so the bullet expands across a wide range of velocities. It is a practical pick for hunters who want one load to cover both close shots and long ones. This Federal box holds 20 rounds, enough for a sight-in and a day afield.
