.338 Lapua Magnum

.338 Lapua Magnum, 8.58×70mm, was developed as a long range precision round with high accuracy and lethality. Thus, it mostly associated with high-end bolt-action rifles. Widespread adoption lead to some civilian popularity, and introduction of semi-auto .338 rifles. However, expectations that round's niche would expand to machine guns were cut short by adoption of nearly identical .338 Norma Magnum. 338 LM is very powerful and accurate cartridge, capable to ignore majority of body armor even with basic ammunition.
