338 Lapua Ammo

A powerful rifle cartridge used extensively by both military and sport shooters, .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition was developed by Scandinavian defense contractor Nammo Lapua Oy in 1989. It is used by snipers in the armed forces of dozens of countries (often with rifles from Sako or Accuracy International) due to its long-range performance. As of 2016, the record for the longest-ranged sniper kill is held by a British soldier who used an AI L115A3 rifle chambered in .338 Lapua to kill two Taliban machine gunners in Afghanistan.

.338 Lapua ammunition typically fires a heavy 200 or 250 grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of about 3,000 feet per second. Match bullets can reach 300 grains, further enhancing the projectile's long-range stability.

It's no surprise with these specs that .338 Lapua ammo is capable of taking just about any large game animal that walks the planet. Shooters using this formidable caliber, however, would be well-advised to invest in a quality recoil pad for their rifle!

    You’re a deliveryman of sorts. But you don’t deliver packages to houses. You deliver big bolts of lead and copper to bullseyes and steel silhouettes – and you might deliver them from over 1,000 yards away.

    If the 338 Lapua Magnum is your long-range rifle of choice, then Barnes loaded this Precision Match ammunition for the sole purpose of impressing you. This Utah-made range load features the Match Burner, an open tip match boat tail bullet that is 100% designed and built for accuracy.

    The OTM BT’s precision copper jacket has an extremely narrow aperture in its nose, which its lead core was inserted through to guarantee peerless in-flight rotational stability. The OTM’s smooth jacket is uninterrupted by a cannelure, and its boat tail is set at the angle which best reduces air resistance and wind drift. Once the 0.716 G1 BC bullet clears barrel at a rate of 2,600 feet per second, it hugs a laser-like trajectory until finally becoming subsonic at approximately 1,600 yards.

    Don’t look to the Match Burner for expanding terminal ballistics – it may have a hollow point, but it is not a hunting bullet. Do look forward to smooth functionality when you fire this ammo, and keep its primo reloadable brass cases after you’ve emptied them.

    This 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge by Hornady features the 270 grain ELD-X projectile. The ELD-X’s versatile performance makes it effective no matter the distance it has to travel. When it strikes a target at high velocity, its thick jacket and InterLock ring keep its core and jacket together to deliver up to 60 percent weight retention as it expands within a target. When it strikes at lower velocities, its polymer tip effectively initiates wide expansion accompanied by up to 90 percent weight retention. With such versatility you’ll be well-equipped however far away you might find your quarry.

    This Precision Hunter round’s is a highly accurate bullet as well, a feat it owes largely to its Heat Shield tip which won’t deform in response to aerodynamic heating. The ELD-X’s ability to group tightly is further bolstered by its highly concentric jacket, secant ogive profile, and boat tail design which grants it a trajectory flatter than a topographical map of Florida. This round’s concentric select brass casing also greatly promotes its accuracy and precision.

    These rounds from Barnes are just the fuel that your custom .338 Lapua Magnum bolt-gun needs to reach out and drop mule deer and elk at extended range! As part of the VOR-TX Rifle lineup, these rounds utilize Barnes's Long Range eXpanding (LRX) projectile which possesses an all-copper body with a polymer tip that conceals a hollow-cavity.

    The bullet is designed for clean stability and drag resistance with a keen ogive, precise boat tail, and long body which grabs more of your barrel's rifling for increased spin. Upon impact, the wind-shielding polymer tip is driven back into the hollow cavity in order to initiated wide, peeling expansion.

    A series of grooves which reduce pressure, prevent setback, and preserve accuracy also serve to stifle fragmentation and keep the bullet intact during entry. This results in a hard hitting round that penetrates through dense hide and bone before depositing its momentum into vital organs in order to bring big game down with humane efficiency.

    The projectile weight of 280 grains is a common heavy choice in the .338 Lapua caliber and is supported by readily available drop tables. Barnes is one of more notable projectile manufactures in the U.S. and has a rich history stretching back to 1932. Their complete ammunition allows shooters who don't handload to enjoy premium quality performance suited to any need.

    If you intend to reload these rounds after firing, then be sure to check out Widener's selection of bullets and primers for a more convenient order.
