Federal Premium 243 Win ammunition loaded with Hornady ELD-X bullets gives you the reliability and performance to handle unpredictable hunting situations. The 90-grain projectile combines a polymer tip that resists deformation with a concentric copper jacket and robust shank, delivering consistent expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. Whether you're pursuing varmint, predator, or medium game at moderate to extended ranges, this round pairs dependable accuracy with effective terminal performance.
What sets the ELD-X apart is its ballistic pedigree: Hornady engineered this bullet with an aerodynamic secant ogive and optimized boat-tail for excellent downrange stability and energy retention. The polymer tip doesn't just protect the bullet during feeding and handling—it's engineered to reliably initiate expansion when it matters most. Heavy-for-caliber construction in .243 Winchester means less wind deflection and flatter trajectories than lighter alternatives, a genuine advantage when distance and mirage complicate your hold.
Federal's brass is new production, non-corrosive, and boxer-primed, making these rounds suitable for reloading if you want to stretch your investment. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and feed smoothly, and the specially formulated propellant is matched to deliver the velocity and consistency that serious hunters and precision shooters expect. You get 20 rounds per box, enough to zero or sight in before heading afield or to the range.
| Cartridge | 243 Winchester |
| Bullet Weight | 90 Grains |
| Bullet Type | Hornady ELD-X Polymer Tip |
| Quantity | 20 Rounds |
| Primer Type | Boxer |
| Casing | Nickel-Plated Brass, Reloadable |
| Corrosive | Non-Corrosive |
ELD-X stands for Extremely Low Drag eXpanding, a Hornady design that combines a polymer tip (which resists deformation and initiates expansion) with a concentric copper jacket and robust shank. The result is a bullet engineered to expand reliably across a wide range of velocities, making it effective for hunting at various distances. The polymer tip and aerodynamic design also improve ballistic coefficient, which means flatter trajectories and better wind resistance than conventional alternatives.
Yes. Federal Premium 243 Win ammunition comes in boxer-primed, nickel-plated brass cases designed for reloading. Once you've fired the rounds, you can resize, reprime, and reload the cases, which helps reduce your per-round cost over time.
The 90-grain ELD-X is appropriate for varmint, predator, and medium-sized game hunting. The heavier-for-caliber bullet in .243 Winchester provides better downrange stability, flatter trajectories, and less wind deflection than lighter rounds in the same caliber, making it a good choice for hunters dealing with distance or variable conditions.
Yes. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, and uses a specially formulated propellant engineered for consistent performance and velocity.
