Hornady 80411 243 WSSM 75gr V-MAX Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Hornady 80411 delivers exceptional accuracy and explosive terminal performance in the fast-stepping 243 Winchester Short Super Magnum cartridge. This factory ammunition combines Hornady's precision manufacturing with their proven 75-grain V-MAX bullet technology for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

The 243 WSSM cartridge pushes the 75-grain V-MAX bullet to velocities exceeding 3,400 fps, generating significantly more energy than standard 243 Winchester loads. Hornady's polymer-tipped V-MAX bullet features a streamlined design that maintains velocity downrange while the polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact. The short magnum case design provides increased powder capacity in a more compact package than traditional magnum cartridges.

Key Features

• 75-grain V-MAX bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion and flat trajectory
• 243 Winchester Short Super Magnum chambering for high velocity performance
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and proper headstamp
• Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
• Muzzle velocity approximately 3,400 fps from 24-inch barrel
• Streamlined boat-tail design reduces wind drift at extended ranges
• 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions

This ammunition excels in varmint hunting scenarios where flat trajectory and explosive terminal performance are priorities. The high velocity and polymer-tipped bullet construction make it effective on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized game at ranges extending beyond 300 yards. The 243 WSSM's inherent accuracy potential pairs well with precision rifle platforms for competitive shooting disciplines.
