WHAT IS THE 338 LAPUA AMMO?

The name Lapua comes from the city where this round was created. This round is a rimless bottlenecked centerfire load designed in the 1980s as a long-range, high-powered bullet for use by military snipers. In recent years, this load has become the leading sniper firearm bullet, with a range exceeding 2000 yards. It has also become common amongst hunters and competition shooters who enjoy the power and long-range characteristics of the cartridge in taking down targets/games.

338 LAPUA AMMO FOR SALE HISTORY/DEVELOPMENT 

The 338 Lapua ammo for sale came about from the need to get sniper ammunition that can fire a 250-grain weight and 8.6mm diameter bullet at 914 m/s, which could penetrate at 1,094 yards and above five layers of military body armor. In simple terms, the idea was to design a load that could penetrate persons or objects at an extremely long range. This project was first conceptualized by Research Armament Industries (RAI), and Lapua later joined them. RAI dropped out of the project, one of the reasons being financial constraints. This round minimizes barrel wear, an essential component for any shooter who uses thousands of such rounds in a year.

More than 30 years after its development, the 338 Lapua magnum ammo still has a significant market share of long-range target shooting ammunition. It has earned itself the nickname “death ray” thanks to its flat trajectory and extreme accuracy at long distances.
