Description

The Acri Ammunition .243 Winchester 95-grain Nosler Ballistic Silvertip is a high-performance hunting and target shooting cartridge known for its accuracy, flat trajectory, and excellent terminal ballistics. Below is a concise overview based on available information: Specifications: Caliber : .243 Winchester Bullet Weight : 95 grains Bullet Type : Nosler Ballistic Silvertip (Polymer tip, boattail design) Muzzle Velocity : Approximately 3,025–3,100 feet per second (depending on barrel length and load) Muzzle Energy : Approximately 1,900–2,000 foot-pounds Ballistic Coefficient : 0.355 (G1, typical for Nosler Ballistic Silvertip) Sectional Density : 0.230 Effective Range : Up to 500 yards for hunting, with optimal performance within 300 yards for medium game Features: Bullet Design : Polymer Tip : Enhances ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and initiates rapid expansion upon impact. Boattail Base : Reduces drag, improving long-range accuracy and velocity retention. Lubalox Coating : Reduces barrel fouling and enhances smooth feeding in rifles. Nosler Solid Base : Ensures controlled expansion and deep penetration, ideal for medium game like deer, antelope, or hogs. Terminal Performance : Known for rapid expansion and high weight retention (up to 90%), delivering devastating wound channels while minimizing meat damage compared to heavier loads. Cartridge Case : Typically brass, reloadable, with consistent performance across manufacturers like Winchester or Nosler. Uses: Hunting : Excellent for medium game (e.g., deer, antelope, wild hogs) due to its balance of velocity, energy, and expansion. Effective for varmints at longer ranges with minimal pelt damage. Target Shooting : Popular for long-range precision shooting due to its flat trajectory and high ballistic coefficient. Versatility : Suitable for bolt-action rifles (e.g., Winchester Model 70, Ruger American) and some semi-auto platforms, with a 1:10 or faster barrel twist recommended for stabilization. Performance Notes: Accuracy : The 95gr Ballistic Silvertip is praised for sub-MOA accuracy in well-tuned rifles, making it a favorite for hunters and precision shooters. Recoil : Moderate, making it manageable for younger shooters or those sensitive to recoil compared to larger calibers like .308 Win. Comparison : Lighter than 100gr or 105gr .243 Win loads, the 95gr offers higher velocity and a flatter trajectory, though it may have slightly less penetration on larger game compared to heavier bullets.
