CVA Apex tries out Winchester & Remington Ammunition Part 1

Let me back up just a tad if I may.

I was contacted by my friend Albert at the Rasch Outdoor Chronicles when he heard I finally had received my CVA Apex chambered in .243 and was trying to decide what ammo to try.

He had suggested I email this fella Steve Otterbacher from Bulkammo.com to see if he could help so I did just that.

I shot Steve an email (no pun intended) and mentioned who had sent me and what my request was and in true outdoorsman fashion sent me off two boxes of .243 ammunition to try. Now I have to say I should have done this review quite some time ago but not having my own place big enough to shoot and have to rely on a public range until just recently I had to let the ammo sit in my cabinet until I could go out.

That is what I did, I found a local farmer who gave me permission to shoot and built myself a portable shooting bench and away I went. Now this post in my opinion needs more information for you all so that is why I made it a "Part 1".

Winchester® Super-X® Power Point

This classic ammunition has proven itself world wide with its unmatched game-getting results. Super-X Power-Point ammunition boasts incredible knockdown power on deer-sized game. The bullet has an exposed soft lead tip and a notched jacket for rapid, yet controlled expansion and maximum energy transfer. Per 20.

Remington .243 Winchester 100-grain Pointed Soft-Point Core-Lokt®

• A top choice of hunters everywhere
• Loaded with 100-grain pointed soft-point bullets

Remington's Core-Lokt® bullets have been putting game on the table for decades. That's why they're still a top choice of hunters everywhere. With tapered copper jackets locked into solid lead cores, they promote controlled expansion and optimal weight retention for consistent on-game performance. Loaded with 100-grain pointed soft-point Core-Lokt bullets, this ammo is ideal for deer-sized game.

Let's talk First Impressions

Just to get your curiosity up a bit I am going to end this post at First Impressions and hopefully I can interest you enough to come back for Part 2.

The Remington brand after scope adjustments and what not my first 2 shots at 100 yards were one in the center and one down and to the right.

The Winchester brand I took 3 shots and they were marked with a square drawn around them.

Interesting, do come back for Part 2 coming soon.
