.243 Winchester Super Short Mag (WSSM) in 80 Grain Barnes TTSX (Lead Free)-Â Hard to find, but we have you covered!!
The .243 Winchester Super Short Magnum or .243 WSSM is a rifle cartridge introduced in 2003. It uses a .300 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) case shortened and necked down to accept a .243 in/6mm diameter bullet, and is a high velocity round based on ballistics design philosophies that are intended to produce a high level of efficiency. The correct name for the cartridge, as listed by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturersâ Institute (SAAMI), is 243 WSSM, without a decimal point. This cartridge is used for small game such as varmints and for animals as large as deer.

Our loading techniques and extremely tight tolerances are only matched by passionate hand-loaders in their own loading rooms. Our consistencies box to box and lot to lot, are created by continuous testing at the range- adjusting varied powder and brass lot formulas to match exact velocities and points of impact as the last time we loaded this caliber.

The Bullet-Â
100-PERCENT COPPER BODY
Since its introduction in 2003, Barnesâ TSX Bullet has earned a reputation as âthe perfect hunting bullet.â Now, Barnes has improved on perfection by adding a streamlined polymer tip. The new Tipped TSX features the same 100-percent copper body with multiple rings cut into the shank. It delivers the same gnatâs-eyelash accuracy and âdead right thereâ performanceâbut with an added polymer tip that boosts BC and improves long-range ballistics. The tip and a re-engineered nose cavity provide even faster expansion. Complete penetration, virtually 100-percent weight retention and four razor-sharp cutting petals that double bullet diameter means the new Tipped TSX creates more internal damage than any competing bullet. Instant expansion and perfect penetration ensures cleaner, quicker kills.
