Lapua 308W exposed tungsten core with black painted tip - cutaway. These are from late 80's-90's, very expensive, and rare. Also made in 7.62X39 (maybe for South Africa)

Read it as "giveaway" not "cutaway".

I was a little let down when I could not figure out how to get them. Then felt stupid. Coffee is working a little slow this morning.

Still very neat.

Wow, nasty looking round. Thanks for sharing.

Sniper round? Used against hard targets?

Nammo does a lot of research into specialty rounds.

Looks like it could be potentially hard on feed ramps.
