History of the 338 Lapua cartridge:
The 338 Lapua cartridge was introduced in 1983 as a wildcat/proprietary by Research Armament Co.,  U.S.A. and was the first caliber designed specifically for sniping with enough energy to penetrate 5 layers of military body-armor and still make the kill at 1,000+ meters or 1000 yards or more.
It was designed by necking down a 416 Rigby to .338, with Bel (Brass Extrusion Labs U.S.A) making the brass, and Hornady U.S.A making the bullets.
Then Lapua, Norma, Hornady and other companies began production of the cartridge.
With a velocity of 3,000 Feet per Second and a 250 grain bullet developing 4850 Foot Pounds of Energy, with the right shooting conditions, it could be use to the 2,000 meter mark.
Today this cartridge is used by many military forces in the  world, as a preferred anti-personal sniper cartridge.
