    What does LAPUA mean?

    So I have seen a few posts using the word LAPUA. Tonight I was watching the NCIS marathon and they metioned it in a .308. What does it mean? Thanks for the help.

        Lapua, or more officially Nammo Lapua Oy, is part of the large Nordic Nammo Group. Our main products are small caliber cartridges and components for civilian and professional use. The Lapua cartridge factory was established in 1923. From a modest and practical beginning, Lapua has grown into one of the most respected brands in the industry. The best shooters in the world choose Lapua cartridges.
        Lapua quality ammo is the top choice for any rimfire or centerfire competitive shooter, hunter or Mil / LE authority.

            Well, it is generally considered to be very high quality.

              They make excellent brass and bullets. My 5R loves the 155gr Scenars

                6.5 x 47 Lapua is VERY special ammo. I'm getting the shakes just thinking about it!
