Hornady ELD-Match 285 Grain 338 Lapua Magnum Ammo - 20 Rounds

The current incarnation of the .338 Lapua cartridge is the result of British and Finnish research to develop a caliber to fill the gap between the standard issue 7.62 NATO and the .50 BMG. The result has become a standard issue precision rifle caliber for long range work in the military as well as a caliber that is enjoying increasing popularity in extreme long-range target shooting and game hunting. The 285 grain Extreme Low Drag (ELD) bullet by Hornady has a muzzle velocity of 2745 feet per second with approximately 4800 foot pounds of energy. These bullets have a tip point specifically designed to prevent the bullet fronts from melting and deforming: not a serious concern in conventional bullets used for standard shooting ranges but a problem when shooting ranged exceed 400 yards or meters. This bullet is designed for long range target shooting.
