Winchester Ammo Varmint X Win X243pxp 243 Varmintx Xp 65 Gr 20/10

Winchester Varmint X ammunition in .243 Winchester is purpose-built for hunters and shooters targeting predators and varmints with rifles chambered in this popular cartridge. The 65-grain polymer-tip bullet delivers the explosive performance you need for clean, decisive hits on everything from prairie dogs to coyotes and other medium-sized varmints. Winchester backs this load with the quality and consistency their name represents, so you can focus on your shot rather than worrying about reliability downrange.

The polymer tip on the Varmint X bullet is engineered to fragment on impact, transferring maximum energy to the target—a critical factor when hunting small, fast-moving game where over-penetration wastes energy and diminishes the explosive effect. This design makes the round particularly effective at the ranges and velocities typical of .243 Winchester hunting, where you're often taking relatively close to moderate-distance shots across open country or brushy terrain.

Each box contains 20 rounds packaged in 10-round sleeves, making it easy to organize and grab what you need for a morning or afternoon in the field. Whether you're running a high-volume prairie dog shoot or pursuing coyotes across rangeland, Varmint X gives you the performance and dependability Winchester hunters have relied on for generations, paired with modern bullet technology.
