Hi guys, been asked by a club member about. 243 factory ammo with full metal jackets for target shooting. He's looking in the central Scotland and perthshire areas.
Anyone know any suppliers in those areas please?
Cheers

I could be wrong, but I think you may really struggle to find factory loaded 243 Winchester FMJ ammunition, I don't think such a thing exists. It's not considered a "target" calibre, manufacturers only load hunting bullets for it as far as I know.

243 is quite big in the US for PRS matches, so you may find one of the big companies produce it, however in the UK its mostly a hunting round so getting hold of it here might not be so easy

Just edited this post to add the link, Norma make 243 in FMJ

my gun does not shoot any factory ammo well. It's a ruger M77 MK2.
I got lapua brass and lapua scenar bullets to get groups below .5MOA. Factory ammo was all above 2MOA
