REMINGTON 29320 243WIN 90GR SWIFT SCIROCCO 20 Rds AMMUNITION PRSC243WA
A break-through line of big game ammunition that combines many of the best performance features developed over the last half-century. The remarkable Swift™ Scirocco Bonded bullet which combines polymer tip ballistics with weight retention is unquestionably the most advanced polymer tipped bullet ever to sit atop a factory load. Of course, our precision loading process — using the finest available components — ensures that it’s delivered with quality unmatched by any other brand.The Scirocco cut-away shows how the unique combined design features make our new Premier Scirocco line some of the most versatile and reliable big-game ammunition offered today. The expansion-generating polymer tip and the boat tail base combine to defy air resistance at the front end, and reduce drag at the back. The progressively thickening, heavy-based, pure copper jacket is bonded to the lead core to preserve bullet integrity and retain over 75% of its weight at all velocities. Finally, the bullet’s precise concentricity and secant ogive nose profile produce accuracy you would be proud of in match competition. Premier Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded and Swift Scirocco bullets are in a class off their own. Bonded bullets offers hunters the unique combination of excellent accuracy, superb weight retention and expansion with overall superior terminal results.

Introduced in 1955, the 243 Winchester is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down. It was the first commercial cartridge added to the "308 family," with a 2.045-inch case designed to fit into Winchester's Model 88 lever action and short bolt actions. Winchester saw it as a combination "varmint and big-game" round, with an 80-grain varmint bullet at 3550 feet per second and a 100-grain deer bullet at 2960. Apparently the public saw it the same way; the 243 Winchester is the world's most popular 6mm cartridge, with current loadings running from a 55-grain varmint load at nearly 4000 fps to 108 grains. 6mm bullets hold up better in wind than smaller calibers, so the 243 remains a favorite for long-range varminting. With heavier bullets it is very effective on deer-sized game. Its attributes are accuracy, light recoil, and deadly effect; it is a standard choice for beginning hunters. Because of its popularity factory loads are legion, and most rifle manufacturers offer it. — Craig Boddington
