338 Lapua Mag – 285 gr ELD-M – Black Hills Gold (1C338LAPBHGN2) – 100 Rounds

When targets are well beyond a mile, bullet design matters as much as the rifle, and the 285 grain ELD Match is one of the most efficient heavy bullets for the 338 Lapua. This listing is Black Hills Gold 338 Lapua Magnum 285 grain ELD Match ammo, MPN 1C338LAPBHGN2, sold as 100 rounds for extreme long range competitors, King of 2 Miles style shooters, and owners of large magnum precision rifles.

The 285 grain ELD Match uses a heat resistant polymer tip and a long, low drag profile designed to keep its ballistic coefficient stable as it heats in flight. That consistency means more predictable drop and wind drift at the far edge of the 338 Lapua’s range. Black Hills Gold is the company’s premium line, pairing top tier bullets with careful loading. Match bullets like this are built for accuracy on targets and are not designed as hunting bullets.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 338 Lapua Magnum, such as the Accuracy International AXMC and AX338, Barrett MRAD and Model 98B, Sako TRG 42, Ruger Precision Rifle Magnum, Desert Tech SRS A2, and custom actions from builders like Defiance and Surgeon. A common question is whether 338 Lapua can be fired in a 338 Norma Magnum rifle. No. The cases differ, so only use ammunition that matches your chamber. Another common question is how 285 grain compares with 300 grain bullets in this cartridge. The lighter bullet usually leaves the muzzle faster, while 300 grain bullets carry more mass, so the better choice depends on your rifle and the ranges you shoot. Confirm your barrel twist suits the bullet length you choose.

Black Hills 1C338LAPBHGN2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers, and that heavy magnum brass is worth saving. This listing contains 100 rounds from one lot. With ammunition at this level, one lot for practice and match day keeps your firing solution reliable.
