Winchester Copper Impact Ammunition 243 Winchester 85 Grain Copper Extreme Point Polymer Tip Lead-Free 20RD

Winchester Copper Impact ammunition in 243 Winchester delivers lead-free performance built on decades of Winchester's hunting ammunition expertise. Built around the Extreme Point bullet—a solid-copper design engineered to maximize impact trauma and energy transfer—this 85-grain load is purpose-built for medium-game hunters who demand reliable, ethical performance in the field.

The Extreme Point's oversized impact diameter creates a larger wound cavity and faster knockdown than conventional designs. The solid-copper construction retains weight through the target for deep, consistent penetration, while the red reinforced polymer tip initiates expansion reliably across a wide velocity range. The hollow nose cavity ensures lethal terminal performance when it counts, and the streamlined ballistic profile paired with a boattail design keeps your shots flat and on target at distance.

If you're hunting in lead-free ammunition jurisdictions or simply prefer non-toxic rounds without sacrificing terminal performance, Winchester Copper Impact bridges that gap. The 243 Winchester has long been a favorite for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game; this 85-grain load gives you the accuracy and energy retention to make clean kills consistently. Each box contains 20 rounds.
