A: Thanks for reaching out Thomas! Barnes Bullets is a member of SAAMI and loads ammo in accordance with their specifications. I have read in the Kivaari owners manual that you should exclusively fire LAPUA, SBR Ammunition, Sellier & Bellot, Swiss-P, American Reserve Munitions and Prime Ammunition brand 338 Lapua Mag ammo. I don't know why Barnes ammo wouldn't be safe or effective, but I have to defer to the manual on the matter. I regret that we haven't got any 338 ammo in stock by those brands right now, but we do update our inventory constantly. I hope you'll check back in again soon!
