Overview
Built for hunters pursuing medium to large game, this load is centered on long-range use in the field. The 240-grain CX bullet carries a .611 G1 ballistic coefficient, giving it a profile suited to extended-distance shots when conditions call for precision. Each box contains 20 rounds, and Hornady’s Custom ammunition is hand-inspected before packaging as part of its quality control process. It is a straightforward option for hunters who want a purpose-driven .338 Lapua Magnum load without extra embellishment.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The box contains 20 rounds, so it’s a relatively small quantity for extended range work or multiple outings.
- This load is built around the 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge, so it’s intended for hunters set up for that chambering and its recoil/handling characteristics.
- The product details do not provide muzzle energy or casing information, which leaves some load-specific comparison points unspecified.
- The 240-grain CX bullet is presented as a long-range hunting option, but shot placement and range still depend on the rifle, optic, and conditions.
