Doesnt the Lapua Magnum stop whatever it hits?? Exactly. Whether it is a Water Buffalo or some jackass trespassing, .338 Lapua doesn't care it stops them all. I think thats the reason the British Army uses it. That and Accuracy International make some rather fetching firearms. |

That and Accuracy International make some rather fetching firearms. I like the ballistics of the round. Was thinking of trying to build a AR with a .338 for shits and giggles. Would kick like a mother fucker though. Only round I have seen that flys better is the Cheytac .416 but that is cnc machined from a solid nickel/copper billet and is a ultra-low drag round. But, costs about $200 for i think 10 rounds. |

I dont think that Cheytac round is stopping for anything short of a Titanium Ingot. It sounds like a through n through. |

It'll blow through your target them what ever is behind it. But I'm not paying that much for rounds that end up fouling your barrel and causing you to have to replace it. |

The maths certainly doesnt stack up. Plus the Cheytac round sounds like it really only has a military use as a much more portable vehicle stopper. Would be a lighter weapon than a .50 cal Sniper. |
