Match-grade 338 Lapua Magnum ammo designed for consistent grouping at extended range. The Nosler Match Grade 338 Lapua Magnum 300-grain Custom Competition jacketed hollow point runs 2650 fps at the muzzle with 4677 ft-lbs of energy — enough momentum to hold supersonic flight well past 1500 yards. The 0.8 ballistic coefficient and 0.375 sectional density combine for flat trajectories and resistance to wind deflection, making this load suitable for precision rifle competitions and long-range practice sessions where shot-to-shot consistency matters more than terminal expansion.
Performance at a Glance
Nosler loads each round using weight-sorted powder charges and length-checked, neck-sized Custom brass that’s been chamfered, trued, and flash-hole aligned. Boxer primers seat in non-corrosive pockets, and every case is reloadable after firing. Nosler measures brass wall thickness and sorts projectiles by weight to reduce variance — the result is factory ammunition that approaches handload precision without the time investment at the reloading bench.

The jacketed hollow point nose keeps BC high without fragmenting on paper or steel — this is a match projectile, not a hunting bullet. Expect best results from 26-inch or longer barrels with 1:9 or 1:10 twist rates. 338 Lapua ammo generates substantial recoil and requires a sturdy rest or bipod for consistent shot placement during extended practice sessions.
