| 338 Lapua 8.58x71mm Finland |
| The 338 Lapua cartridge was introduced in 1983 by Research Armament Co, U.S.A. and was the first caliber designed specifically for sniping with enough energy to penetrate 5 layers of military body armor and still make the kill at 1,000 meters. --------------------------------------------------------- It was designed by necking down a 416 Rigby to .338, with Brass Extrusion Labs U.S.A making the brass, and Hornady U.S.A making the bullets. Then Lapua and Norma began production of the cartridge. ---------------------------------------------------------- With a velocity of 3,000 for a 250 grain bullet with 4850 Foot Pounds of Energy, in the right shooting conditions, it could be use to the 2,000 meter mark. ------------------------------------------------------------ Today this cartridge is used by many military forces in the world, as a preferred anti-personal snipper cartridge. |
