When elk stand at 600 yards or dangerous game demands both precision and decisive terminal ballistics, 338 Lapua Magnum ammo becomes the answer — and Nosler Custom delivers it with hand-assembled consistency. The 250-grain Nosler AccuBond bonded polymer tip combines controlled expansion with deep penetration, engineered for animals that don’t offer second chances. This is 338 Lapua ammunition built to the same exacting standards Nosler applies to their component bullets, loaded by ballisticians who verify every powder charge and seat every primer by hand.
Load Profile
The AccuBond’s bonded core construction prevents jacket-core separation even when impact velocities exceed 3000 fps at the muzzle or drop below 1800 fps at extended range. Nosler seats the 250-grain projectile in new brass cases cut to exact SAAMI specifications, chamfered, deburred, and flash-hole-checked for alignment. Boxer primers are hand-seated after individual inspection. Powder charges are hand-thrown and verified for consistency before the bullet is seated in precise alignment. The result: ammunition that shoots like premium handloads straight from the factory box.
