Sig Sauer Marksman Hunter .243 Winchester 85-grain BTHP ammunition (part no. E243GK85-20) is built for hunters who want match-grade accuracy and dependable expansion in the same bullet. Sig Sauer engineers this 85-grain boat-tail hollow point to combine the flat-shooting consistency of a precision bullet with controlled expansion on impact, so the same round that groups tight off the bench performs when it counts on game. The .243 Winchester’s mild recoil and flat trajectory have made it a favorite for new hunters and varmint-to-deer versatility alike. In rifle ammunition that bridges match accuracy and hunting performance, this is Sig’s answer for the field.
