History of proof Cartridges:
Proofs are used to verify or “proof” the mechanical strength of a firearm before it leaves the factory, higher pressure then regular ammunition and should never be fire in your firearm!
The bright dark reddish wash or dye on the base (head stamp) and projectile with nickel case is the U.S. industry standard of identifying these types of cartridges.
Proofs are not normally available to the public, and should NEVER be fired out of you firearms.

History of the .243 Winchester Cartridge:
The .243 Winchester was introduced in 1955 by Winchester for their model 70 bolt-action rifle.
The .243 Winchester is basically a .308 Winchester case necked down to accept 6mm projectiles.
This was a very successful caliber as Winchester had the foresight to use a tight 1 in 10 twist in the Model 70 barrel to stabilize heavier projectiles up to 100 grain, making this a great “all in one” hunting cartridge from varmint to deer.
Still a good pick today for the one rifle home and also used in some AR platforms.
