.338 Lapua Mag. (8.6x70)

The original .338 Lapua Magnum.

During the years the .338 Lapua Magnum has received a steady foothold in many western hemisphere armies and similar organizations.

Our much-copied paragon of quality and accuracy has an effective range up to 1500 meters. Despite this, the .338 caliber rifles are about the same size and weight as the 7,62 mm rifles. The .338 caliber weapon system is considerably lighter than the .50 BMG system.

Complete selection of ammunition.

Lapua offers a complete selection of .338 Lapua magnum ammunition including Ball, Armour Piercing, Armour Piercing Incendiary, HPBT, Blank and Drill cartridges. The trajectory of the bullets is tailored to match, so there is no need to change the sight setup when changing a bullet type.
