Lapua 200 Grain Soft Point


The Lapua Mega is for hunting big game. This bullet is at its best in the field and typically more than duplicates on impact, causing an immediate shock effect in your quarry. The Mega is a soft point bullet with a protective copper jacket – traditional hunting performance. This ensures that the bullet’s lead alloy core remains intact when shooting through brush or branch. The mechanical bonding locks the lead alloy in place, allowing the bullet to achieve up to 97% weight retention. Mega product family covers the most popular calibres in Scandinavia including 9 products.

Anyone have any suggestions about this bullet from a .308 rifle hitting a man-sized target at 200 yards or fewer?  Any idea what powder/charge you'd personally load, knowing that most shots would be 200 yards or fewer, but once in a while you'd like to tickle a medula or hit the Five-Hole at 300 or so?

Would anyone not feel comfortable going into Harm's Way with such a load?

Just curious...
