This relatively new cartridge has become increasingly popular in recent years, establishing a solid reputation in both the world of hunting and precision shooting.

As a magnum cartridge, the round features a stout recoil impulse with impressive downrange results. The cartridge is exceptionally flat shooting and allows for consistent and repeatable accuracy at extended ranges. The .338 Lapua is utilized by military personnel, hunters, and precision shooters alike earning itself a reputation as a high-performance long-range cartridge.
  • .243 Winchester:The .243 Winchester cartridge was introduced in 1955 as a result of a collaboration between Warren Page and Winchester. It was developed from the .308 Winchester case and necked down to accept a .243” (6mm) diameter projectile. The .243 Winchester is a versatile cartridge that is well-suited for both varmint and big game hunting due to its flat trajectory, manageable recoil, and excellent accuracy. The high velocities and flat-shooting trajectory of the cartridge make it well-suited to precision shooting use cases. The round was also utilized by many competitors in marksmanship competitions, helping 6mm cartridges grow in popularity in this use case.

The cartridge served as the basis for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, a long-standing military cartridge utilized by many countries.
