The .338 Lapua Magnum (eight.six×70 mm or 8.58×70 mm) is usually a rimless, bottlenecked, centerfire rifle cartridge. It was created over the nineteen eighties to be a high-powered, extended-assortment cartridge for navy snipers. Resulting from its use from the War in Afghanistan as well as Iraq War, the cartridge happens to be greatly available.
