Lapua FMJ Boat Tail Projectiles

The Lapua FMJ Boat Tail (FMJBT) Projectiles are premium full metal jacket bullets designed for shooters who demand exceptional consistency, reliable feeding and outstanding long-range performance. Manufactured to Lapua's renowned quality standards, these projectiles are widely used for target shooting, military and law enforcement training, service rifle competition and precision load development. Lapua's FMJ projectiles have earned a reputation for accuracy far beyond what is typically expected from conventional FMJ bullets.

Featuring a Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) design, these projectiles combine reliable feeding with enhanced ballistic performance. The boat-tail base reduces aerodynamic drag, helping the bullet retain velocity, resist wind drift and maintain a flatter trajectory at extended ranges. This makes the Lapua FMJBT an excellent choice for shooters looking to maximise accuracy while maintaining the durability and versatility of a full metal jacket projectile.

Lapua manufactures its FMJBT bullets using extremely tight tolerances for weight, jacket concentricity and dimensional consistency. This meticulous attention to detail results in highly uniform projectiles that deliver consistent velocities and excellent shot-to-shot repeatability. Many competitive shooters and precision reloaders choose Lapua FMJBT projectiles when they require match-like consistency in a traditional FMJ design.

Some of Lapua's most famous FMJBT projectiles, including the legendary D46 and D166, have remained in production for decades and continue to be respected by precision shooters around the world. The D46 in particular has been setting records since the 1930s and remains one of the most respected FMJ bullets ever produced.
