HRNDY 338LAPUA 250GR BTHP 20/120

Description

Hornady Match ammunition in .338 Lapua Magnum is built for long-range precision work — competitive shooting, extended-range target work, and any application where consistency at distance is the deciding factor. The 250-grain boat tail hollow point bullet is the right tool for this because the boat tail base reduces base drag as the bullet transitions from the muzzle blast environment to free flight, which helps maintain a higher ballistic coefficient and keeps the bullet more stable across the full distance to the target. The hollow point configuration is not designed for terminal expansion in this context; it provides a more consistent, symmetrical tip profile that contributes to tighter group sizes compared to a soft point of the same weight.

Hornady loads this ammunition to strict uniformity standards — consistent powder charge, consistent seating depth, consistent case prep — because at distances where .338 Lapua Magnum is genuinely useful, small variations in muzzle velocity compound into significant vertical dispersion on target. Brass casings support reliable primer seating and are dimensionally consistent in a way that matters both for chamber fit and for handloaders who want to recondition spent brass afterward. The 20-round box count is standard for this caliber and reflects the reality that shooters running .338 Lapua are generally pacing their shots deliberately rather than burning through high round counts at the range.
