In the years following World War II, cheap surplus munitions flooded the US civilian market. This oversaturation was great for casual shooters, but didn't leave many quality options for hunters. Joyce Hornady started manufacturing superior ammunition components in 1949 to assist with filling this void. Decades later, Hornady has earned a solid reputation for premium accuracy and terminal ballistics. Their rimfire, centerfire, and shotshell ammo are among the best in the industry and are trusted by shooters in every corner of the community.

Hornady's Custom line was designed to give hunters handload accuracy and performance from a factory load. This .338 Lapua Magnum is perfect for elk, moose, bear, and other large game hunting. Its unique CX projectile has a grooved monolithic copper alloy construction with polymer Heat Shield tip. What this creates is a highly aerodynamic bullet capable of incredible accuracy. Once the 240 grain projectile impacts the target, the tip is forced into the core to initiate expansion while penetrating deep and maintaining up to 95% of its weight. The massive wound channel it creates is extremely effective in taking down even the largest game animal. Hornady loads these rounds with premium brass cases and non-corrosive boxer primers. Sold in 20 round boxes, make sure to stock up on Hornady Custom to maintain your own stock of handload quality .338 Lapua.
