Fort Scott 338 Lapua 250gr TUI Solid Brass – Powerful 20 Round Box

Description

The Fort Scott 338 Lapua 250gr TUI load is a 20 round box of 338 Lapua Magnum ammunition from Fort Scott Munitions, an American company in Fort Scott, Kansas. It uses a 250 grain Solid Brass Spun (SBS) bullet with the company’s Tumble Upon Impact design, and Fort Scott lists a test velocity of 2,994 fps from a 26 inch barrel with a 1:9 twist.

Fort Scott 338 Lapua 250gr TUI Overview

The 338 Lapua Magnum was designed for extreme long-range shooting and has become a favorite for elk, moose and other large game at distance. Fort Scott’s version uses a 250 grain Solid Brass Spun bullet, tested at a fast 2,994 fps from a 26 inch barrel. Brass is slightly less dense than copper, so the bullet is long for its weight, and Fort Scott designs it to tumble after impact rather than expand. That approach keeps the bullet intact for deep penetration on heavy-boned animals, without lead fragments in the meat.

It is a serious magnum load for hunters and long-range shooters who want a non-lead option.

How TUI Works

Fort Scott’s patented Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design works differently from an expanding hunting bullet. Rather than mushrooming, the lathe-turned brass bullet is engineered so it begins to yaw and tumble shortly after it enters a target. A tumbling bullet presents its full length as it travels, creating a large wound channel while retaining its weight because it does not fragment or shed petals. That means deep, consistent penetration and no lead fragments in game meat.

Non-Lead Construction

Because the bullet is a single piece of brass turned on a lathe, it contains no lead core. That makes it compliant in areas that restrict lead ammunition for hunting and reduces lead exposure at the range. Monolithic bullets are longer than lead-core bullets of the same weight, so Fort Scott tunes seating depth and powder charge for each load.

Firearm Compatibility

Fire this ammunition only in rifles chambered for 338 Lapua Magnum. Do not use it in 338 Winchester Magnum, 338 Norma Magnum or 338-378 rifles; they are different cartridges. Fort Scott tested it with a 1:9 twist, a common rate for the 338 Lapua. Long monolithic bullets need adequate twist, so confirm accuracy in your rifle before taking long shots.

Accuracy and Testing

Every rifle has its own preferences. Before you hunt with this load, fire several groups at your usual distance to confirm point of impact. Solid brass bullets often shoot to a different point than lead-core ammunition of the same weight, so a fresh zero check is always worth the time, and clean copper fouling from the bore if accuracy starts to drift.

Recoil and Shootability

Recoil from a 338 Lapua Magnum is heavy. Most rifles in this chambering use muzzle brakes, which reduce felt recoil but greatly increase blast for the shooter and anyone nearby, so double hearing protection is wise. Build up gradually and use a solid rest or bipod for accuracy.

Made in the USA

Fort Scott Munitions designs and manufactures its bullets and loaded ammunition in Kansas. The company holds patents on its tumbling bullet technology and offers it across a wide range of handgun and rifle calibers.

Storage and Care

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants. Inspect cartridges before use and set aside any with dents, corrosion or loose bullets.
