The 243 Winchester Bullet Keyring – Unique Accessory for Gun Enthusiasts

The British Stalker’s Round

Winchester introduced the .243 in 1955 by necking the .308 case down to take a 6mm bullet. The result was flat-shooting, mild in recoil and accurate – and in Britain it found a natural home. It meets the legal minimum for all deer species in England and Wales, and it is one of the most popular choices for roe, muntjac and fallow, and for foxing at night.

For a lot of UK shooters it was the first centrefire rifle they owned, which is why this keyring tends to mean something to the person who gets it.

Keyring or Inert Round

• 25mm split ring – for your keys or a rifle bag
• Inert round – no attachment, for a desk, shelf or display

Both are made the same way: a once-fired .243 Winchester case, cleaned, polished, resized to full length and fitted with a seated bullet.

Other Stalking and Sporting Rounds

• .308 Winchester – the parent case
• 6.5mm Creedmoor and .270 Winchester
• .22-250 – the fox and vermin round
