Lapua Special Purpose
1
Lapua is a pioneer in the development and manufacture of sniper ammunition. All our special purpose ammunition is produced to the same match grade requirements as our target ammunition.
Not just according to toughest standards Lapua quality is appropriately certified as well as approved by several special forces and armies worldwide. Long-term cooperation with different defence organizations helps us understand the special requirements of the military and other professional users. The goal is not to meet requirements but to exceed them.
The most accurate long-range cartridges The reliability and excellent accuracy of Lapua´s special purpose cartridges are renowned worldwide. The secret behind the fame is simple: the special purpose cartridges are manufactured with the same unconditional precision and care as our leading sport shooting products. Our paragon of quality and accuracy is the .338 Lapua Magnum, which has an effective range up to 1500 meters. Despite this, the .338 Lapua Magnum systems are about the same size and weight as the 7.62 mm systems. The .338 Lapua Magnum system is considerably lighter than the .50 caliber system.
API Designed to be used against vehicles and structures in situations when excellent penetration, incendiary and point of impact effect is needed. The API bullet is designed to meet current insensitive munitions philosophy.

Scenar
Subsonic
D46
Scenar is an extremely accurate open-tip match bullet. Boat tail base gives an outstanding ballistic coefficient. Lapua Scenar bullets give superb results at long ranges.
Lock Base
Often copied, never equaled. The legendary D46 in caliber 7.62 is one by which all others of its type are measured. Manufactured to the strictest tolerances for concentricity, uniformity of shape and weight, it has shot its way to the record books since the 1930’s all the way to the 21st century.
Solid (Naturalis)
Unbeatable accuracy over extra long distances. Lock Base tail structure provides exceptional accuracy also at high pressures and high muzzle velocities. FMJBT configuration reduces drag and provides a flatter trajectory.
Lapua is the most widely used 7.62 mm caliber subsonic ammunition for military and law enforcement special operations. Designed especially for specialized short barrelled tactical rifles that have sound suppressors.
AP
Innovative bullet design enables controlled expansion with 100% retention weight. Bullet construction with valve design gives a maximal shock effect over the wide terminal velocity range (500-1000m/s). For operational purposes the solid frame construction enables straight bullet path through laminated glass without fragmentation.
Lapua’s AP is the most accurate armour piercing ammunition that is manufactured using proven match grade technology. It provides excellent penetration against hard targets. Now available also for 300gr family!

All .338 Lapua Magnum cartridges are packed in M2A1 steel cases. The Ball B408 features a 250gr (16,2g) Lock Base FMJBT bullet. The bullet maintains its velocity supersonic up to 1300 meters. The AP485 features a 248gr (16,1g) Armour Piercing bullet, trajectory tailored to match the Ball B408 path. The world’s most accurate armour piercing ammunition penetrates 10mm armour steel plate after 800 meters. The completion for the .338 Lapua Magnum is the 300gr family, including Scenar GB528 and the new Armour Piercing AP529.

Lapua’s latest special purpose cartridge is developed for short barreled semi-auto rifles. This cartridge is designed for optimum ballistic performance in shorter barrels (12”-20”). Lapua tailored the powder type and charge weight to reduce muzzle blast and flash while still delivering outstanding accuracy and velocity. From a standard 16” barrel, muzzle velocity should be 754 m/s and routinely capable of shooting groups under 1 MOA at 300 meters (<87mm / 300m) with quality rifles. This new special purpose cartridge works flawlessly with DMR-type semi-auto rifles.
