Product Overview
The Lapua Naturalis .260 Remington sends a 120-grain solid copper bullet downrange at 2950 feet per second with 2320 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Lapua designed the Naturalis specifically for hunters in European countries with strict lead regulations, then expanded availability to meet global demand for non-toxic ammunition. The 0.37 G1 ballistic coefficient reflects the aerodynamic limitations inherent to monolithic copper construction at this weight.
The Naturalis features a unique expansion system where the bullet's hollow nose cavity opens into controlled petals upon impact. Unlike some copper bullets that require high velocity for reliable expansion, Lapua engineered the Naturalis to expand across a broad velocity range. The solid copper construction ensures 100% weight retention regardless of what the bullet encounters, providing straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle.
European hunters and those in lead-restricted jurisdictions will find Lapua's premium quality applied to environmentally compliant ammunition. The higher velocity from the lighter bullet keeps trajectory manageable at medium distances despite the lower BC. Hunters pursuing deer, wild boar, and similar game benefit from the reliable expansion and deep penetration. Lapua's reputation for consistency means shooters can expect uniform performance from box to box.
- Lapua's precision manufacturing ensures consistent velocities and accuracy from premium components
- Solid copper construction provides 100% weight retention and eliminates lead contamination in meat
- Engineered expansion system works across a wider velocity window than some competing copper bullets
- Meets strict European lead-free requirements while delivering effective terminal performance
- The 0.37 BC is among the lowest in this caliber—wind drift becomes significant past 250 yards
- Lapua ammunition commands premium European pricing in American markets
- Lower BC and lighter weight mean faster velocity decay compared to heavier conventional bullets
- Limited availability in the US compared to domestic lead-free options like Barnes
