This 338 Norma Magnum load (20185272) is built for serious distance, heavy impact, and clean precision from a powerful magnum platform. Norma loads it with a 300 grain hollow point boat-tail bullet. More specifically, this load is commonly listed with a 300 grain Sierra MatchKing-style HPBT projectile. The bullet has a long, efficient shape. It cuts drag well. It also carries energy with authority far past ordinary hunting distances.
Norma lists this load at 2,660 fps and about 4,713 to 4,715 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, depending on the listing. That gives the cartridge real magnum force. However, the strength of this load is not just raw power. It also brings a high ballistic coefficient, with Norma listing a 0.768 G1 BC for this 300 grain bullet. Therefore, it resists wind well and stays stable at distance.
The 338 Norma Magnum was designed around heavy .338-caliber bullets. This load shows why. The 300 grain HPBT holds velocity well. Meanwhile, the case gives it enough powder capacity to stay fast without wasting efficiency. As a result, it works for hunters who need reach, penetration potential, and heavy-bullet confidence on large game.
This is not casual range ammunition. It belongs in accurate rifles, behind disciplined shooters, and on hunts where distance and conditions demand more cartridge. Moreover, Norma builds it with brass cases and Boxer primers. That adds value for reloaders who want to recover premium 338 Norma Mag brass after firing. Retail listings confirm 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case, brass cases, Boxer primers, and reloadable construction.
Each case contains 200 rounds. That gives enough supply for zero work, data gathering, field confirmation, and reserve storage. In short, this is a heavy, precise, high-energy 338 Norma Mag load with the bullet weight and case design to perform where lighter cartridges start to run out of steam.
