Open country deer and pronghorn hunters often prefer a lighter, faster 243 load that reaches out with less holdover. This listing is PPU 243 Winchester 90 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP2431, sold as a 200 round case. It is a value-priced option for hunters who want to shoot their rifle often and keep the same load from practice to the field. Families with youth hunters also like that it keeps recoil light while flattening trajectory.
PPU rates PP2431 at 3,100 fps with 1,921 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. At 90 grains, this bullet leaves the muzzle faster than the 100 grain loads, which flattens trajectory and simplifies longer shots. The soft point nose expands on impact for hunting performance. It carries nearly the same energy as heavier 243 loads thanks to the higher speed. It is meant for deer-sized game, coyotes, and pronghorn rather than target work.
It fits rifles chambered in 243 Winchester, including the Savage 110 and Axis, Ruger American Ranch and Hawkeye, Remington 700, Tikka T3x, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Browning BLR and X-Bolt, Bergara B-14, and AR-10 platform rifles in 243. A common question is whether a 90 grain bullet holds up on deer. With good shot placement at sensible ranges it performs well, though some hunters prefer 100 grain for larger bucks. Another common question is whether 243 is legal for deer in every state. Most states allow it, but a few set minimum calibers or energy figures, so check your regulations.
PPU PP2431 is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded 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 for 200 total, from one lot, so your zero stays consistent from summer practice through the end of hunting season. Store the boxes cool and dry between seasons.
