The Nosler 40122 delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 243 Winchester rifles, featuring 100-grain AccuBond bullets engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration. This premium hunting ammunition combines Nosler's proven bullet technology with precision-loaded cartridges that maintain tight groups at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's AccuBond bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from standard hunting loads through its unique polymer tip and bonded core design. The copper-alloy jacket bonds molecularly to the lead core, preventing separation on impact while the polymer tip initiates controlled expansion. This design delivers 60-70% weight retention compared to 40-50% typical of conventional bullets, ensuring deeper penetration and more reliable terminal performance.
Key Features
- 100-grain AccuBond bullets with bonded core construction for superior weight retention
- Polymer tip design ensures consistent expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding and extraction
- Boat-tail bullet profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory and extended range capability
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent pressure and velocity
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 243 Winchester chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality bolt-action rifles, with muzzle velocities averaging 2,960 fps from 22-inch barrels. The 100-grain bullet weight provides excellent versatility for medium game hunting while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics that make it effective for varmint control at extended ranges. The AccuBond's controlled expansion performs consistently across temperature extremes and varying impact velocities.
