Anyone have experience with 338 Lapua? Why this round? AFAIK, relatively flat shooting and retains a lot of energy out to pretty extreme ranges. +1. Very popular worldwide. Bridges the gap between the 7.62 and the 50. 300gr SMK @ 2800fps. B.C. .768......really cool if you and your optics can handle it

Quoted: Anyone have experience with 338 Lapua? Why this round? Hero sniper Craig Harrison, 35, nailed the killers with a rifle bullet each as the pair manned a machine gun - then for good measure let rip a third shot that took out their weapon. |

Quoted: Quoted: That's damn sexy. Any word on price? There never is......  $6000.00, I just checked barretts online price list on their site. Quoted: Anyone have experience with 338 Lapua? Why this round? It's quickly becoming the sniper round of choice for major militaries. With all that said though, if I was in the market for a .338 lap mag I don't see the Barrett being worth 2-2.5k more than the 98B that it is based on or worth what AI is asking for an AX or AW/SM. |

Price: $5,844.99 Nice.  |

Exactly, I'll take that every time over the 98b/mrad. |
