The Sellier & Bellot 338 Lapua Mag 250gr Hpbt 10 Pack (Model: SBV340402 / V340402) is factory match rifle ammunition engineered for extreme long-range target shooting and precision competition. Loaded with a 250-grain (16.20-gram) Hollow Point Boat-Tail projectile, it delivers a muzzle velocity of 868 m/s (~2,848 fps) and generates 6,103 Joules (~4,501 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy when tested in a 690 mm barrel. The boat-tail profile reduces aerodynamic drag to maintain supersonic stability at extended distances, exhibiting an aerodynamic G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.661 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.331.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic HPBT Design: Utilises a 250gr Hollow Point Boat-Tail projectile (#2898) engineered with a sectional density of 0.313 lb/in² for streamlined flight paths.
• Factory Precision Ballistics: Produces an estimated power factor of 712.0 kgr·fps, with calculated bullet drop documented at –145 cm at 500 metres and –897 cm at 1,000 metres based on a 182-metre Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero.
• Reloadable Components: Built with non-corrosive Boxer-primed standard factory brass casings featuring an overall cartridge length of 91.80 mm.
• Packaging Dimensions: Supplied in 10-round boxes measuring 49 mm (L) × 101 mm (W) × 97 mm (H) with a total box weight of 0.48 kg (individual cartridge weight: 43.1 g).

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 338 Lapua Mag 250gr HPBT for?

• Extreme long-range target competitors — relies on a 0.331 G7 ballistic coefficient and an 868 m/s muzzle velocity to maintain high trajectory consistency and low wind drift when firing this .338 Lapua Magnum rifle ammunition past 1,000 metres.
• F-Class long-range precision shooters — utilizes a heavy 250-grain match projectile generating 6,103 Joules of muzzle energy to maintain consistent impact energy and tight group dispersion on target frames at extended distances.

Less suitable for: Rifles with barrel twist rates slower than 1:11", which may fail to adequately stabilise this 250gr HPBT design; rifles with slower twists require lighter-weight .338 match ammunition or dedicated lighter-grain target projectiles.
