Federal V243VM75 Federal Varmint & Predator 243 Win 75 gr Hornady V-Max (VMX) 20 Per Box/ 10 Cs

Federal Varmint & Predator .243 Winchester ammunition loads the proven Hornady V-Max bullet—a purpose-built round for shooters who demand precision and consistent terminal performance on varmints and predators. The 75-grain V-Max bullet combines flat trajectory and inherent accuracy with rapid, reliable expansion, making it a solid choice for prairie dogs, coyotes, and other medium-range targets where shot placement and energy delivery matter.

What sets this load apart is Federal's attention to component quality. The V-Max bullet features an electro-chemically bonded copper jacket applied to the core, which ensures jacket uniformity and controlled expansion. The skived, pre-programmed nose cavity is designed to open consistently across a range of impact velocities—a key advantage when you're taking varied shots in the field. The result is predictable bullet performance and reliable power delivery downrange.

Federal backs this ammunition with consistently formulated brass, primers, and propellant that cycle reliably through your .243 rifle, shot after shot. Whether you're managing prairie dog populations, calling in predators, or testing your marksmanship on varmint-sized targets, this load delivers the accuracy and terminal performance you expect from Federal's varmint line. Each box contains 20 rounds, ready to load and shoot.
