.221 Fireball  Introduced by Remington in 1963 in the new XP-100 bolt action pistol, this groundbreaking cartridge set new standards for handgun performance. The Fireball has recently seen a dramatic surge in popularity, due in large part to the efforts of wildcatters working with this versatile case. The 17 Fireball was one of the early offspring, but the diminutive case would eventually be necked down even further, and upwards to the 30 caliber. With such popular numbers as the 20 VarTarg and the 300 AAC Blackout, the 221 Fireball case is more popular today than ever. So it is with satisfaction that we bring traditional Lapua quality to this proven cartridge. Whether used in its original form, or necked into one of the many cases that it serves as a parent for, the Lapua 221 Fireball is a sure winner.
50 BMG Match Conceived as an anti-material round in 1918, the big 50 BMG has served that role as the preeminent heavy machinegun round for 95 years since. The range and power of this incredible round has kept it in service continually throughout the years.  In recent times, the rounds versatility has been enhanced, as it expands into a precision long range role. Though most known for its service in heavy machineguns, it has the potential for very good accuracy, hindered mostly by the lack of true, match-grade components. Lapua has stepped in to address this problem with the introduction of our 50 BMG precision made Match cases. When accuracy is the ultimate goal, the new Lapua 50 BMG Match case is the solution!
