About .338 Lapua Ammunition

The .338 Lapua Magnum, often simply referred to as .338 Lapua, was developed in the 1980’s and began production in 1989. As far as military calibers go, the .338 Lapua bridges the gap between the .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO and the .50 BMG. 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.

Types of .338 Lapua Loadings

  • Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT): HPBT loadings feature hollow point projectiles with boat tail style bases. These differ from traditional projectiles with flat bases and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Like traditional hollow point loadings, these loadings are also designed to facilitate expansion on impact.
  • Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated. These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
  • Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding (ELD-X): Loadings of this type feature premium ELD-X projectiles from Hornady. These types of loadings are well-suited to long range shooting and hunting. ELD-X loadings are specifically optimal for hunting due to the consistent expansion they provide. The high velocities and flat shooting of these loadings allow end users to reach out to extended ranges and optimize their performance.
  • Soft Point (SP): SP loadings feature soft, exposed lead projectile tips which are conducive to expanding upon impact. These loadings are mainly utilized in hunting applications and are effective at imparting a high degree of kinetic energy transfer. Specialty SP loadings also exist which are optimized for different types of hunting and game.
  • Solid Copper: Solid copper projectiles are generally going to be lighter than traditional types of bullets which utilize materials such as lead. Loadings with solid copper projectiles are generally found in ammo offerings optimized for precision shooting, hunting, and defensive use cases. Additionally, due to their copper construction, these types of loadings are classified as lead-free ammunition.
