Norma 243 Winchester Cases (100)

Description

243 Win

The .243 Win. was originally a wildcat designed by Warren Page who necked down the .308 case in the early fifties.

The goal was to make a light deer rifle which would still have the advantages of the high-velocity .22-calibers for varmint hunting.

In 1955 Winchester made it a commercial round. The .243 is a very popular round all over the world for hunting medium sized game, probably due to its flat trajectory and very mild recoil.

Norma 243 Winchester cases take the Large Rifle Primer.

Norma Brass

Norma cases are made of the best possible raw materials with the narrowest tolerances, and they deliver accuracy round after round. Superior quality ensures a long life, and many reloads.

The case neck is annealed to become softer. This prevents gas leaks and enables the case to hold the bullet firmly for at least 10 years without cracking as a result of aging material.

Further down on the case body, the hardness increases to avoid unnecessary stretching. If it is too hard, it would bring the risk of cracks.

Furthest down, around the primer pocket, the brass should be firm. Here, the hardness is nearly twice that of around the neck.
