The Lapua Mega has earned its spot in the hunting world by doing exactly what a soft point should do: expand reliably and hold together when it hits the vitals. This is a .308 diameter, 150 grain projectile built around a lead-alloy core and a protective brass jacket. The mechanical bond between core and jacket is the key feature here, locking everything in place so the bullet keeps its structure at the moment of impact rather than coming apart when you need it most.
The Mega runs a flat-base design with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.330 and a sectional density of 0.226. It's a traditional, controlled-expansion hunting bullet rather than a long-range match projectile, and that's by design. Lapua built this one for the field, where it tends to mushroom out well and drive deep, delivering strong energy transfer on game. Handloaders have reported weight retention running high, which is a big part of why it keeps earning repeat buyers for whitetail, boar, and larger species across Europe and North America.
Because it's a standard .308 diameter .30 caliber bullet, the Mega is at home in a wide range of cartridges. It's a natural fit for the .308 Winchester, where Lapua lists a muzzle velocity around 2790 fps from a 26-inch test barrel, and it works just as well in the .30-06, .300 magnums, and similar chamberings. Folks loading for roe, fallow, and bigger game have had good luck pairing it with popular reloading powders, and the 150 grain weight gives you a versatile all-around option that doesn't beat up lighter-framed game with excessive carcass damage.
Lapua's reputation for consistency is well known among reloaders, and the Mega carries that same attention to detail into a working hunting bullet. If you want a dependable soft point that expands when it should and stays intact through the hit, the 150 grain Mega is a time-tested pick worth keeping on the bench.
Yes, the Mega uses a mechanical bond between its lead-alloy core and protective brass jacket. That bond locks the core in place so the bullet holds its structure at the point of impact. It's what gives the Mega its reputation for deep penetration and strong weight retention on game.
It's a standard .308 diameter .30 caliber projectile, so it works in a wide spread of cartridges including the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and the various .300 magnums. In the .308 Win, Lapua lists a muzzle velocity around 2790 fps from a 26-inch barrel. Just match your load data to the specific cartridge you're building.
This is a reloading component, meaning the projectiles only. There's no brass, powder, or primers included, so you'll need the rest of your components to build finished rounds. It's intended for handloaders assembling their own hunting cartridges.
The Mega is built as a big game hunting bullet and performs well on species like whitetail, boar, and similar sized animals. It's a controlled-expansion soft point designed to mushroom and penetrate deep rather than a long-range target bullet. Hunters across Europe and North America have relied on it for years.
