The Federal V243VM75 Varmint & Predator ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy for varmint hunters demanding consistent terminal performance. This 243 Winchester load features the proven 75-grain Hornady V-Max bullet, engineered for rapid expansion and devastating energy transfer on prairie dogs, coyotes, and other varmints.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Varmint & Predator series combines match-grade components with specialized bullet selection for superior ballistic performance. The Hornady V-Max projectile incorporates a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion at velocities exceeding 1,600 fps, while the boat-tail design maintains stability at extended ranges. Federal's quality control standards ensure velocity consistency within 20 fps across the entire production lot.
