Gentlemen,

Purely as an aside, the British army has recently adopted a .338 Lapua version of the Accuracy International L96 sniper rifle, for longer range platoon support. But as we're in NATO & also supposed to be "European" (my arse) its called 8.59mm. Also, just read that .338 Lapua is a necked down .416. That fact alone cheers me up whenever I see some!
