<h2>Synonyms</h2><p>none</p><h2>Armament</h2><p>Suitably chambered sniping rifles.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>This cartridge was developed commercially by the Winchester company in 1955 as a hunting round. It soon acquired a reputation for accuracy. This resulted in a number of companies producing military sniping rifles chambered for this round, since it produced better accuracy figures than the more usual 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>The 0.243 Winchester was developed by taking the 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge case and reducing the neck to accommodate a 6 mm bullet. This means that the alterations to a weapon originally designed for the 7.62 mm cartridge are relatively minor except for the different barrel, facilitating the conversion. The case is of brass, bottlenecked and usually Boxer primed. The bullet is of conventional pattern, streamlined, lead cored, with a steel jacket and gilding metal envelope. Various hunting bullets can be found, but the military standard is a full metal jacket bullet.</p><p>AUSTRIA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Hirtenberger AG</p><p>Type: Ball: FMJ; 5.8 g; MV 945 m/s</p><p>Ball: SP; 6.5 g; MV 900 m/s</p><p>BRAZIL</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>CBC Magtech</p><p>Type: Ball: PSP; 6.48 g; MV 985 m/s</p><p>CZECH REPUBLIC</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Sellier & Bellot</p><p>Type: Ball: SP; 6.5 g; MV 905 m/s</p><p>FINLAND</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Nammo Lapua Cartridge Factory Ltd</p><p>Type: Ball E453: FMJ; 5.8 g; MV 945 m/s</p><p>Ball S342: FMJ; 5.8 g; MV 885 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Sako AB</p><p>Type: Ball: FMJ; 5.8 g; MV 870 m/s</p><p>Ball: SP; 5.8 g; MV 955 m/s</p><p>GERMANY</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Dynamit Nobel (RWS)</p><p>Type: Ball CP: cone point; 6.22 g; MV 955 m/s</p><p>Ball SPP: PSP; 6.48 g; MV 936 m/s</p><p>ISRAEL</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Israel Military Industries ( IMI ) Type: Ball: SP; 6.5 g; MV 902 m/s Ball: HP; 5.2 g; MV 1,020 m/s KOREA, SOUTH</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Poongsan Metal Corporation</p><p>Type: Ball: PSP; 5.2 g; MV 896 m/s</p><p>Ball: PSP; 6.5 g; MV 836 m/s</p><p>SOUTH AFRICA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>PMP</p><p>Type: .243 win Soft Point 6.5 g; V 5 900 m/s</p><p>SWEDEN</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Norma AB</p><p>Type: Ball 16002: FMJ; 6.5 g; MV 945 m/s</p><p>Ball 16003: JSP; 6.5 g; MV 945 m/s</p><p>UNITED STATES OF AMERICA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Federal Cartridge Company</p><p>Type: Ball: SP; 5.2 g; MV 1,042 m/s</p><p>Ball: SP; 6.5 g; MV 902 m/s</p><p>Ball: HP; 3.9 g; MV 1,098 m/s</p><p>Ball: Streamlined HP; 5.5 g; MV 1,012 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Remington Arms Company Inc</p><p>Type: Ball: PSP; 5.2 g; MV 1,021 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 5.2 g; MV 1,021 m/s</p><p>Ball: PSP; 6.05 g; MV 902 m/s</p><p>Ball: JSP; Etronix electric primer; 5.8 g; MV 1,000 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Winchester-Olin</p><p>Type: Silver tip: FMJ; 6.5 g; MV 902 m/s</p><p>Ball: SP; 5.2 g; MV 1,042 m/s</p><p>Ball: SP; 6.5 g; MV 902 m/s</p><p>YUGOSLAVIA , FEDERAL REPUBLIC</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Yugoimport SDPR</p><p>Type: Ball: JSP; 6.5 g; MV 902 m/s</p><p>HP Test: JSP; 6.5 g</p>

Applications include suitably chambered sniping rifles.
