Overview of 338 Norma Magnum Ammo
338 Norma Magnum is a long-range .338 caliber cartridge designed around heavy, high-BC 300-grain bullets. It fires those bullets at around 2,650 to 2,750 fps, keeping them supersonic past 1,500 yards. Its shorter case lets long bullets seat without intruding into the powder space, which gives excellent consistency for extreme long-range shooting.
338 Norma is used in precision rifles and in some lightweight medium machine guns. For the more widely available .338 long-range cartridge, see our 338 Lapua Mag ammo.

More About 338 Norma Magnum Ammo
American long-range shooter Jimmie Sloan designed 338 Norma Magnum in the late 2000s, and Swedish ammunition maker Norma refined and standardized it, with C.I.P. approval around 2010. The design goal was to get the best possible performance from 300-grain .338 bullets in a case that seated them without crowding the powder.
U.S. special operations forces later adopted 338 Norma Mag as one of the chamberings of the Mk 22 precision sniper rifle, and it has gained a following among extreme long-range competitors who handload or buy match ammunition by the case.
