243 Win – 80 gr PSP – Remington (27800 / R243W1) – 200 Rounds

The 243 Winchester pulls double duty as a varmint and deer cartridge, and the light 80 grain bullet is its varmint side. This listing is Remington High Performance Rifle 243 Win 80 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN 27800, sold as a 200 round case. It is built for coyote, groundhog, and prairie dog hunters who want a flat shooting load from a light recoiling rifle.

Remington rates this load at 3,350 fps with 1,993 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. At that speed the light 80 grain bullet shoots very flat, so you can hold dead on for a long way past your zero. The pointed soft point expands quickly on small animals and helps reduce ricochet compared with a solid bullet. For deer, most hunters use 95 to 100 grain bullets in the 243, which are built to penetrate further. This is varmint and predator ammunition.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 243 Winchester, including the Remington 700 and 783, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt, and AR-10 style rifles built for the round. A common question is whether 243 Win and 6mm Creedmoor are interchangeable. No. Both use 6mm bullets but the cases differ. Another common question is whether this 80 grain load is legal for deer. Many states set minimums by caliber or energy rather than bullet weight, but a lighter varmint bullet is a poor choice for deer even where it is technically legal.

Remington 27800 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot. That supply can last several seasons of varmint calling with the same point of impact, and practicing with it builds confidence on small targets at longer distances.
