	.338 Lapua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The.338 Lapua (8.6 x 70 mm or 8.58 x 71 mm) is a specialized rimless centerfire cartridge developed for sniper rifles.

		The cartridge was developed to fill the gap between weapons chambered for standard military rounds (7.62 x 51 mm/.308 Winchester) and the large, weighty rifles firing the.50 BMG (12.7 mm).

	338LapuaMagnum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The.338 LAPUA Magnum is an important cartridge to military snipers because it significantly outperforms the 7.62x51 mm (.308 Winchester) round, which is the most common cartridge used in the sniper rifles of NATO and other Western countries.
		The.338 LAPUA Magnum, also known as the 8.6x70mm, was originally developed in 1983 as a long-range sniper cartridge for the U.S. Navy designed to push a 250 grain (16.2 gram) bullet at about 3,000 fps (914 mps).
		Lapua offers a broad range of tactical and sporting rounds for the.338 LAPUA Magnum, and it would be useful to take a brief look at each of these different rounds.

	Factory-Loaded 6mm BR Ammo
		Lapua claims 3051 fps for its 90gr molys and 2953 fps for 90gr naked Scenars (26" barrel).
		Lapua ammo is available from Graf's for about $26 per box of twenty (20) loaded rounds:
		So the Lapua ammo may work a little better in the wind, but the Norma may have an edge in pure accuracy in steady conditions.

	The 338 Ultra - A Poor Man's Lapua?
		A.338 Lapua launches 250 grain bullets at over 3000fps and 300 grain bullets at over 2850fps, with good hand loads and sub 1/2 moa accuracy.
		The Lapua requires lots of modification to work in a Remington 700 action and that means high cost.
		I checked the two calibers for capacity and found water wise the two where almost identical, however in practical application, the Ultra is about a tenth of an inch longer than the Lapua, and that means more bullet has to be pushed into the case to not exceed the maximum magazine length.

	Lapua Scoremax 22 LR RF Ammo. Heavier bullets, better ballistics
		Since the heel of the bullet does not engage the rifling, the bearing surface of the bullet is left largely unchanged and so its ability to be properly stabilized in a standard twist barrel is unchanged as well.
		This ogive is actually the same ogive that was used on Lapua’s very successful "Championship" ammunition, which was made in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.
		While some may criticize Scoremax’s less streamlined nose, the simple fact is that at subsonic velocities, nose shape is not as important a factor as it is at supersonic velocities.

		I heard that Ron H. Has some new Lapua and it is shooting like a house a fire.
		Kingsnake shared the rifle with me when I was a newbie and he always shot a very old lot of Eley while I shot Lapua or SK and we were always neck and neck.
		That is what I start my testing with and if you find your rifle shoots well with a known GOOD lot then you can assume that your rifle is a shooter and look for a lot that is close in performance to your control lot.
