Nosler Trophy Grade 243 Winchester 100 Grain Partition Ammunition - 20 Rounds

Nosler Trophy Grade 243 Winchester 100 Grain Partition ammunition delivers the controlled expansion and bullet integrity you need for medium-game hunting. Built on Nosler's reputation for precision manufacturing, Trophy Grade rounds combine hand-inspected assembly with premium components designed to perform consistently across a range of hunting scenarios. The 100-grain Partition bullet is engineered to initiate reliable expansion while retaining the mass needed for deep penetration—a balance that matters when you're counting on one shot to count.

The Partition bullet design is the heart of Trophy Grade's performance. A thin, fully tapered jacket ruptures instantly upon impact, but the integral lead partition controls that expansion and works with a thickened rear section to retain the back half of the bullet's core. This means you get the quick expansion needed for effective energy transfer at closer ranges, paired with the structural integrity to maintain penetration at longer distances or on tougher game. Muzzle velocity of 3100 fps and muzzle energy of 1920 ft-lbs put this load in the working sweet spot for 243 Winchester rifles.

These are loaded in Nosler Custom brass—the same carefully prepared cases you'll find in Nosler's match ammunition—and packaged 20 rounds per box. If you're a 243 Winchester hunter who values consistency and proven bullet performance over bargain-bin loads, Trophy Grade is worth the investment. Factory ammunition this closely controlled saves you time at the reloading bench and delivers the terminal performance that separates a clean harvest from a frustrating day afield.
