Best 243 Win Factory Ammo

[Barn Side]

Hoping to shoot my 243 Win in target matches, but unfortunately don’t reload.

Just looking for recommendations on what would be the best factory 243 Win ammo available?

Cheers

I would look into copper creek.

Copper Creek and DoubleTap are about the extent of actual match grade ammo using bullets over 100 grains. Great cartridge, much maligned by a lack of quality factory match ammo. These options are in the $2/round range and if you are going past 600 yards, would highly suggest you try them out.

The Hornady 95 grain SST loads and a few that use the 95 grain Nosler BTs are decent out to 600 or so but they don't hang with the 105s, 107s and 115s.

But, it depends a little on what barrel (length and twist) you are using and how far you want to shoot.

for factory ammo this is prob the best youll do outside of the above mentioned companies.

Ive taken it to 600yd in my savage, only because i had it LOL. If you plan to shoot 243 in matches you def need to reload to eek all the performance you can.

Has anybody tried the Lapua 243 FMJ factory ammunition?

I think the only FMJ Lapua round offered is a 90gr. It's expensive for what it is, and still isn't what you're looking for. The .243win is an excellent long range cartridge...if you reload. It sound like you need to look into a reloading setup
