"NT" headstamp

[338sniper]

Does anyone know what " NT" stands for on the 338 L/M headstamp and is it as good as the regular 338 lapua brass for reloading ?

NT is usually used to denote "non-tox" in the states. I don't personally know of a non-tox magnum primer, but I wouldn't doubt it. Probably a Sintox from RUAG. If that's true, there should be no difference in brass manufacture, just the primer.

Hey Guys,

No, that's Lapua brass, made in Lapua, Finland, to the normal Lapua specs. The NT is for Nammo Tactical, our 338LM production operation in Mesa, AZ, and is meant to differentiate our production stuff from that loaded in Finland. But yes, the brass is all from the same place, same machinery, and same material. Good stuff, and a real steal at these prices.

Nammo Tactical. I should have thought of that.

Doesn't this pretty much cover all ammo prices today? For a change the consumer isn't getting the brown end of the handle
