Nosler Varmageddon ammunition in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 61029) is built for shooters reaching out on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes. Nosler manufactures this load to consistent tolerances, so every box performs the same as the last. At the heart of this load is the 70 gr bullet with a flat base tipped design, matched to the .243 Winchester platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Nosler load built for that job.
