243 Win – 100 Gr SP – PPU (PP2432) – 200 Rounds

For deer hunting with a 243, the 100 grain bullet is the traditional heavyweight choice, and PPU offers it at a price that encourages practice. This listing is PPU 243 Winchester 100 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP2432, sold as a 200 round case. It is a good fit for families with several 243 rifles, young hunters who need range time, and anyone who wants a low cost deer load.

PPU rates PP2432 at 2,960 fps with 1,945 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 100 grain soft point is the heaviest common bullet for the 243 and offers better penetration on deer than lighter varmint bullets. Exposed lead at the nose starts expansion on impact. Recoil stays mild, which is a big reason the 243 is popular with new hunters. This is a deer hunting load, best for whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn at sensible ranges.

It fits rifles chambered in 243 Winchester, such as the Remington 700 and 783, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage Axis and 110, Winchester XPR and Model 70, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt, Mossberg Patriot, and Howa 1500. A common question is whether 90 or 100 grain is better for deer in the 243. The 100 grain is the traditional deer weight for more penetration, while 90 grain shoots a bit flatter. Another common question is what twist a 243 needs for 100 grain bullets. Most factory 243 barrels use a 1 in 9 or 1 in 10 twist, which handles this weight well.

PPU PP2432 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one lot. That is enough for a young hunter to practice all summer and then hunt with the same ammunition in the fall.
