- The .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge is a rimless, bottleneck, centerfire cartridge. It is based on the .416 Rigby cartridge, from which it was formed. The .416 case was shortened and necked down to take a .338-caliber bullet. This cartridge has a case capacity of 114 grains, a case length of 2.724 inches, and an overall length of 3.681 inches. It uses a large rifle magnum primer, and fires bullets weighing from 160 grains to 300 grains at muzzle velocities ranging from ~2500 FPS for heavier bullets, up to 3610 FPS for lighter bullets. It fires with a maximum pressure of around 63,000 PSI.

- The .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6x70mm or 8.58x70mm) is a specialized rimless bottlenecked centerfire cartridge developed for military long-range sniper rifles. The Afghanistan War and Iraq War made it a combat-proven round with ready and substantial ammunition availability. The .338 Lapua is a dual-purpose anti-personnel and anti-materiel round; however, its anti-materiel potential is limited, due to the bullet's lower kinetic energy compared with that of the .50 BMG's 35.64 to 55.08 gram (550 to 850 grain) projectiles. The loaded cartridge is 14.93 mm (0.5878 in) in diameter (rim) and 93.5 mm long. It can penetrate better-than-standard military body armour at ranges up to 1000 meters (1094 yd) and has a maximum effective range of about 1750 meters. Muzzle velocity is dependent on load and powde

Muzzle velocity is dependent on load and powder temperature and varies from 880 to 915 m/s (2887 to 3002 ft/s) for commercial loads with 16.2 gram (250 grain) bullets, which results in about 6525 Joule (4813 ft•lbf) of muzzle energy. In addition to its military role, it is increasingly used by big-game hunters and civilian long-range shooting enthusiasts. The .338 Lapua Magnum is suitable for hunting any game animal on the planet, though certain sub-Saharan Africa countries have a 9.53 mm (.375 in) minimum caliber rule for hunting Big Five game. It also cannot be used in countries which ban civil use of former or current military rifle cartridges.
