The Barnes Precision Match .338 Lapua Magnum 300gr OTM BT represents Barnes' entry into the precision rifle match ammunition market. Featuring a 300-grain Open Tip Match boat-tail bullet with a 0.716 G1 ballistic coefficient, this load is engineered for competitive shooters who demand consistent accuracy at extreme distances. At 2,600 fps with 4,504 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this ammunition delivers the heavy-bullet performance that excels in ELR competition and long-range precision matches.

Precision rifle competitors will appreciate the combination of Barnes' quality manufacturing with a bullet design optimized for accuracy over expansion. The heavy 300-grain projectile maintains velocity and resists wind drift at distances where lighter bullets begin to struggle, making it well-suited for matches that push shooters beyond 1,000 yards. The OTM design ensures exceptional concentricity and consistent flight characteristics, translating to tighter groups and more predictable corrections.

For shooters who value Barnes' reputation for quality but need match-focused rather than hunting-focused ammunition, this load fills an important niche. The consistent performance makes it excellent for developing DOPE, validating ballistic calculators, and competing in organized precision rifle events. Whether shooting F-Class, PRS, or informal long-range matches, the Barnes Precision Match delivers the accuracy and consistency that competitive shooting demands.
