				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lapua just dropped a bombshell &#8212; multiple bombshells, in fact. Lapua just announced that it will be producing <strong>.221 Fireball brass</strong> and <strong>.50 BMG brass</strong> starting early 2014. This will be the first truly match-grade brass ever offered for the .221 Fireball. That&#8217;s great news for varminters, who can use Lapua&#8217;s new .221 Fireball brass &#8220;as is&#8221; or neck it down to .20 Vartarg or 17 Fireball. Tactical shooters can also use the .221 Fireball brass to make the <a href="http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/shades-of-gray/" target=_blank">.300 Whisper and 300 Blackout</a> sub-sonic cartridges. At the other end of the spectrum, ultra-long-range shooters now have a new ultra-premium brass source for the mighty .50 BMG. This is potentially a &#8220;game-changer&#8221; for fifty-cal shooters who have had to &#8220;make do&#8221; with military surplus brass for the most part. Lapua says the new brass, both .50 BMG and .221 Fireball, should be in the USA by early April, 2014. Sorry, no pricing info is yet available.</p>
<p><strong>Here is the Lapua Product Announcement for .221 Fireball and .50 BMG Brass:</strong></p>

<p><b>New 180-Grain and 150-Grain 7mm Scenar-L Bullets</b><br />
The other big news from Lapua is the release of two new 7mm (.284 caliber) Scenar-L target bullets. Recognizing the popularity of 7mm cartridges among F-Class Open Division shooters, Lapua will offer a high-BC, 180-grain bullet. As part of the &#8220;L&#8221; series, this new 180-grainer bullet should exhibit extreme consistency in base-to-ogive measurements and bullet weight. We expect this new 180gr projectile to be extremely accurate in the .284 Winchester, .284 Shehane, 7mm WSM, and 7mm RSAUM &#8212; popular chamberings for F-Class and long-range benchrest shooters. No BC information has been released yet, but we expect the BC number to be quite high, giving this bullet great wind-bucking capability. In addition to the new 180gr 7mm Scenar-L, Lapua will offer a new 150gr 7mm bullet. This is optimized for medium range competition in Silhouette and Across-the-Course competition. It should offer great accuracy, but with less felt recoil than its 180-grain bigger brother.</p>
