New American Eagle 338 Lapua Magnum Load
Federal Premium announced a new 338 Lapua Magnum load in the American Eagle line of ammunition at the 2015 SHOT Show in January. The new load uses a 250 grain jacketed soft point (JSP) and reloadable, brass cases. No velocity information was provided by Federal.
The ammunition will be sold in 20 round boxes. Federal advises the suggested retail price on a single box will be $66.95.
The 338 Lapua Magnum is one of several additions to the Federal Premium lines in 2015. Other loads include the 17 Winchester Super Magnum in the American Eagle line and the 380 ACP in the Personal Defense HST line.

This cartridge must be WAY more popular than I originally though if Federal is putting it out under their American Eagle brand... Wow..
Am I wrong to think that 338LM shooters need extreme accuracy for long range targets and that American Eagle is not known as very accurate?
