Overview of 338 Lapua Magnum Ammo
Research Armament Industries (RAI), an American company, was the first to introduce the concept of a long-range sniper cartridge in .338 caliber in 1983. Nammo Lapua Oy, commonly known as Lapua, joined the project to manufacture the casings for the ammo testing process. RAI withdrew from the program during testing, so Lapua started producing the whole cartridge independently.
The 338 Lapua Mag was designed for anti-personnel use, but it has also been used against light materials. Moreover, the round is powerful enough to penetrate concrete and target enemy combatants inside buildings. For a detailed look at how it performs across velocity, energy, and trajectory, see our 338 Lapua ballistics charts.
