Supreme Accuracy. The solid base boattail design and special jacket contours deliver excellent long-range accuracy with reduced cross-wind drift. The Lubalox coated Ballistic Silvertip bullet is designed to deliver rapid expansion and fragmentation in varmint-size game calibers, and controlled expansion and penetration in deer-size game calibers.

243 Win, 55grain, . Ballistic Silvertip, (Per 20)
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 243 Winchester Super Short Magnum (WSSM) was introduced in 2004 as part of Winchester's Super Short Magnum family. It has a very short 1.670-inch case with a .531-inch rim and very fat .5559-inch base diameter. Design criteria were that it had to exceed 243 Winchester ballistics, which it does: A 55-grain varmint load exceeds 4000 feet per second; a 100-grain "big game" load develops 3110 feet per second. The short, fat case allows a smooth, efficient burning curve that is conducive to accuracy, which the 243 WSSM has. It is thus at least as good (and a little bit better) than the 243 Winchester as a combination varmint and big game cartridge. Like the other WSSMs, however, it has not become popular.
