Best Uses

A box covers zero checks and a full season. Copper bullets are longer than lead-core bullets of the same weight, so confirm your point of impact after switching. The hollow point is designed to open into petals while the copper shank holds its weight. Remington Core-Lokt Copper 243 also fits hunts on land with non-lead rules. It is a hollow point, so check local hunting rules on bullet type.

FAQ

Is copper ammo good for deer?
Yes. Solid copper bullets open into petals and hold most of their weight, so they tend to penetrate deep. They are longer for their weight, so they may need a slightly different zero.

Is copper ammo legal in California?
Yes. California requires non-lead ammunition for hunting, and all-copper bullets like this one meet that rule. Check current state guidance before your hunt.

Is 243 good for hogs?
Yes, with a tough bullet and good placement. Solid copper bullets hold their weight and help the 243 get through a hog’s thick shoulder.

How much 243 ammo should I buy for deer season?
Most hunters buy one or two boxes. Use a few rounds to confirm zero and practice, then keep the rest for the hunt. Buying from one lot keeps your point of impact steady.
