Hornady Custom Lite 243 Win 87gr SST – 20 Rounds

Hornady's Custom Lite line reduces felt recoil by approximately 20-30% without sacrificing terminal performance, making the 243 Winchester more accessible to recoil-sensitive shooters, youth hunters, and anyone building shooting skills. This load pairs Hornady's proven 87-grain SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet with a lighter powder charge—delivering controlled expansion and a high ballistic coefficient for flat trajectories on medium game like deer and antelope at common hunting ranges. The polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities than traditional soft points, which is critical for reduced-recoil loads.

Custom Lite ammunition uses the same brass cases and primers as Hornady's standard hunting loads, ensuring consistent ignition and reliable feeding in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. Ideal for hunters who want effective terminal performance in a manageable recoil package, or shooters working on marksmanship fundamentals without flinch development. Available in 20-round boxes.
