Description
.243 WSSM 90 Grain Nosler AccuBond- The .243 Winchester Super Short Magnum (WSSM) is a modern rifle cartridge developed by Winchester and Browning, introduced in 2003 as part of the Super Short Magnum lineup. Designed for compact, short-action rifles, it delivers magnum-level performance in a smaller package without sacrificing accuracy or velocity.
Built off a shortened and widened Winchester Short Magnum case, the .243 WSSM uses the same 6mm bullet as the classic .243 Winchester but benefits from increased powder capacity.
The .243 WSSM is particularly well-suited for varmint and predator hunting, where high speed and flat shooting are essential. It also performs exceptionally well on medium-sized game, such as whitetail deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope, especially in open country where longer shots are common. With our various offerings in bullet selection, it offers clean, ethical kills with minimal recoil.
Although we at Choice Ammunition typically keep this caliber in stock, the overall popularity of the .243 WSSM has declined over the years due to limited availability of rifles and factory-loaded ammunition. However, those familiar with its performance recognize that the .243 WSSM remains a favorite among hunters who appreciate lightweight rifles paired with flat-shooting, hard-hitting ballistics. In the field, this compact and efficient cartridge continues to deliver exceptional results for those who know its capabilities.
The Bullet-
Through an exclusive bonding process that eliminates voids in the bullet core, Nosler AccuBond couples Nosler’s proven copper-alloy jacket with its special lead-alloy core. The result is a bullet that flies true, penetrates deep and retains its weight, without causing extensive barrel fouling. The unique white polymer tip resists deforming and initiates expansion on impact. Nosler’s Solid Base at the rear of the bullet acts as a platform for large diameter mushrooms.
