PETERSON 40007-R 243 WIN 50/10
Peterson Cartridge's .243 Winchester brass is purpose-built for handloaders who demand consistency and precision. This 50-round pack of annealed and cleaned .243 WIN cases gives you the foundation for match-grade ammunition, whether you're developing loads for target competition, long-range hunting, or precision rifle work. The .243 has earned its reputation as an accurate, low-recoil cartridge since its introduction in 1955—and Peterson's attention to case preparation means you start with brass that's ready to reload without extra steps.
The .243 Winchester was originally designed for dual duty as both a varmint and target round, and it remains popular across those disciplines. Built on a necked-down .308 Winchester case, it fires 6mm projectiles with excellent ballistic efficiency. Peterson's annealed cases take the guesswork out of case hardness, so your sizing and forming operations are more consistent. The cleaned finish speeds up your prep work and gives you visibility into case condition before you load.
These cases come packaged in a durable plastic ammo box and are available with either large rifle or small rifle primer pockets, so you can match them to your specific load specifications. For reloaders building ammunition that demands tight tolerances and shot-to-shot uniformity, Peterson brass eliminates one variable from the equation.
