The Fort Scott Munitions 243070SCV delivers terminal performance through its patented Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) technology, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining full weight retention. This 70-grain solid copper spun projectile transforms standard .243 Winchester performance into a hunting and tactical round that outperforms traditional lead-core bullets.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional bullets that fragment or mushroom, the TUI design tumbles end-over-end upon impact, creating a larger permanent wound cavity. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling while providing 100% weight retention. Independent ballistic testing shows 40% greater tissue disruption compared to standard hunting bullets of similar weight.
Key Features
- Patented Tumble Upon Impact technology for maximum terminal effectiveness
- 70-grain solid copper spun construction with zero lead content
- 100% weight retention - no fragmentation or core separation
- Reduced barrel fouling compared to lead-core ammunition
- Consistent 1-2 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles
- California compliant for hunting in lead-free zones
- Match-grade components with strict quality control standards
Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion across velocity ranges from 1,800 to 3,200 fps, making this load effective for medium game hunting and tactical applications. The copper construction maintains structural integrity through barriers while delivering consistent terminal performance. Weather-resistant primers and cases ensure reliable ignition in adverse conditions.
