Product Overview
Barnes Precision Match 300-grain OTM is an open-tip match .338 Lapua Magnum load made for target and match shooting. The OTM is a boat-tailed target bullet left open at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,600 fps with 4,504 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .716.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 8.3 inches at 300 and 23.6 inches at 400. From a 100-yard zero it drops 31.9 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Underwood's Custom Competition 300-grain matches it on bullet weight but carries a G1 BC of .800 and drops 21.2 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Federal's Premium Sierra MatchKing 300-grain starts 20 fps slower on a G1 BC of .768 and drops the same 23.6 inches off that zero.
- Still moving at 2,131 fps at 400 yards
- 70 ft-lbs more muzzle energy than Federal's Premium Sierra MatchKing 300-grain
- Kicks about 4 percent less than Underwood's Custom Competition 300-grain in the same rifle
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared apart from Underwood's Custom Competition 300-grain
- A lower G1 BC than either of the other 300-grain match loads compared
- An open tip, a target bullet with nothing in it meant to open up
