The Lapua Scenar in 8.61mm (.338) at 300 grains is one of the heavy hitters in Lapua's open tip match lineup, carried under product code GB528. This is a jacketed lead projectile with a hollow point boat tail profile, built from the ground up for stability and consistency rather than terminal expansion. If you load for a .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Norma Magnum, or any .338 cal rig built for distance, this bullet belongs on your bench.
What makes the Scenar stand out is the ballistic coefficient. At 0.736 G1 and 0.368 G7, this 300 grain bullet bucks wind and holds velocity better than most anything in its class, which is exactly why it keeps showing up on the firing line at international matches. Lapua designed the Scenar family for top-level shooters chasing the tightest groups at mid and long range, and the factory test data backs it up. In recent testing at Lapua's own facility, the 300 grain .338 GB528 produced a sub half inch group at 300 meters, the tightest ever recorded with this bullet.
Lapua's name is built on tight tolerances and lot to lot consistency, and the Scenar line is where that shows up most. The open tip match design isn't a defensive hollow point, it's a manufacturing feature that keeps the meplat uniform and the center of gravity consistent from bullet to bullet. That consistency is what translates to small groups downrange when your load is dialed in.
These are component bullets, not loaded ammunition, so you'll be seating them yourself. The heavy 300 grain weight pairs naturally with slower burning magnum powders and benefits from a faster twist barrel to stabilize the long ogive. Reloaders who run these tend to work up carefully and let the bullet's own consistency do the heavy lifting. For precision rifle work, F-class, benchrest, and long range target shooting, the 300 grain Scenar is a proven performer that rewards a good load workup with real downrange results.
This 300 grain .338 bullet is a go-to for the .338 Lapua Magnum, and it also works well in the .338 Norma Magnum, which was built around 300 grain projectiles. Any .338 caliber rifle with a twist rate fast enough to stabilize a heavy, long bullet is a good candidate. Always work up your load for your specific rifle.
The Scenar is an open tip match (OTM) design made for precision target work, not for expansion on game. The hollow point tip is a manufacturing feature that keeps the bullet consistent, not a terminal performance feature like a hunting hollow point. For long range target, benchrest, and competition, it's a top tier choice.
A high BC means the bullet fights wind drift and retains velocity better over distance, which keeps your groups tight way out there. At 0.736 G1, the 300 grain Scenar is among the best in its class, which is a big reason it shows up at international matches. It's the kind of number that pays off most past 600 yards.
These are component bullets only, meant for handloading. You'll need your own brass, primers, and powder to assemble finished cartridges. The box contains 100 projectiles ready to seat once you've worked up your load.
