Discuss Who makes the Army's .338 ammunition. in Shooting, Hunting & Fishing on The Army Rumour Service; Idle musing but I'm sort of assuming that it isn't made at Radway. Presuming that there isn't a lot of it consumed are we talking something virtually hand made?...

Lapua. They don't allow anyone else to make it. That is why it's so ***king expensive.

You can roll your own but not for service!

Are you sure that it isn't just badged. Last I heard, only Lapua actually made the stuff. Originally Posted by Pebbles015 Terry
