Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 8343) is built for shooters reaching out on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes. Hornady backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 58 gr bullet with a v-max design, matched to the .243 Winchester platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Hornady load built for that job.
