Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition is built for hunters who pursue game in demanding conditions and refuse to compromise on accuracy or terminal performance. Combining the power of the legendary .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge with Hornady's advanced hunting bullet technology, this premium load is engineered to deliver exceptional results from close-range opportunities to extended-distance shots across open terrain.
At the heart of this load is the 270 grain ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag-eXpanding) bullet. Designed to provide match-grade accuracy while delivering controlled expansion on impact, the ELD-X features a Heat Shield tip that resists aerodynamic heating and maintains its shape throughout flight. Its high sectional density of .338 promotes deep penetration and excellent weight retention, making it well-suited for medium game hunting where reliable terminal performance is critical.
With a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps and a tremendous 4699 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this .338 Lapua Magnum load offers outstanding downrange capability and hard-hitting performance. The streamlined bullet design helps maintain velocity and energy over long distances while minimizing wind drift, giving hunters greater confidence when precision matters most.
Each cartridge is loaded into a premium brass case and paired with a dependable centerfire primer to ensure consistent ignition, smooth feeding, and reliable field performance. Hornady's meticulous manufacturing standards and quality-control processes help deliver uniform velocities and exceptional shot-to-shot consistency.
Packaged in a 20-round box, Hornady Precision Hunter .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition provides the accuracy, power, and dependable expansion serious hunters need for challenging hunts and demanding field conditions.
The Hornady .338 Lapua uses brass cases and 270gr ELD-X bullets for precision hunting.
