Lapua is releasing a new line of high BC (ballistic coefficient) precision rifle bullets, the new Lapua Max Range Target series.

With the massive expansion in longer-distance, precision-oriented rifle-shooting disciplines and competitive events including events like Precision Rifle Series (PRS), F-Class or Fullbore matches, Lapua’s new Max Range Target bullets are designed to cater to these types of rifle shooters who often handload their own ammunition to gain not only a competitive advantage, but also out of sheer necessity too. This is because high level precision handloads tend to be tailor-made for a specific rifle, and in precision shooting, consistency is the name of the game.

The first wave of the new Lapua Max Range Target bullets will include a 6.5mm (.264 inch) bullet that weighs 144 grains and is suitable to load in cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 6.5×47 Lapua, 6.5-284 Winchester or any other high performance long-distance rifle cartridge that accepts .264-inch bullets. The long and sleek 6.5mm Lapua Max Range Target projectile has a G1 ballistic coefficient of .670 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of .335 respectively. This number is indicative of a bullet’s ability to overcome drag and air resistance. The higher the number, the more aerodynamic the bullet is.  

Lapua Sales & Marketing Manager, Erkki Seikkula stated, “With the continued growth of precision rifle sports throughout the world, Lapua is listening to customer demands to deliver a 6.5mm long-range projectile that outperforms all others. Let us share our Passion for Precision with the new Max Range Target projectiles.”

Following the initial release of the 144 grain 6.5mm Lapua Max Range Target bullet, Lapua has plans to continue with an additional .30-caliber projectile in the near future. To learn more about these new projectiles or other products from Lapua, visit lapua.com.
