RWS and the target shooters<br />

- a successfully proven combination<br />

There is good reason for so many<br />

renowned and internationally successful<br />

target shooters to rely upon the RWS<br />

brand. By working closely with top<br />

athletes and experts the product range<br />

is continually improved and expanded.<br />

Decades of experience in the manufacture<br />

of ammunition are the basis on<br />

World Records &<br />

Olympic Victories<br />

with RWS<br />

which <strong>RUAG</strong> Ammotec repeatedly seek<br />

improvements thus securing the international<br />

reputation for leading products. It<br />

is important to actively exchange ideas<br />

with the world’s top shooters and to<br />

consider their views. Only then, can<br />

daily precision manufacturing optimise<br />

top ammunition.<br />

Official<br />

Partner<br />

RWS is proud to be the<br />

official supplier for the DSB<br />

German National Shooting<br />

Team and sponsor of the<br />

Biathlon. More and more<br />

internationally successful<br />

RWS rimfire cartridges<br />

RWS rimfire cartridges have been competition winners<br />

for many years, successful at Olympic, International,<br />

Championships and Club levels. Competitors worldwide<br />

know that using R100 or R50 will give them the<br />

extra needed for a podium finish.<br />

Not a bad batch: RWS rimfire ammunition<br />

A characteristic of target shooting is that no two barrels<br />

are identical therefore, RWS rimfire calibre cartridges<br />

are available in various types. Despite the use of the<br />

best materials and greatest care during production<br />

there will always be slight differences, which influence<br />

the accuracy of a shot. The tolerances within in<br />

a manufacturing batch of ammunition are extremely<br />

low but there are microscopic differences from batch<br />

to batch. The accuracy of the RWS smallbore ammunition<br />

and the minimal differences from batch to batch<br />

4<br />

- only noticeable when shooting - enable the right<br />

ammunition for each barrel to be found. Therefore,<br />

experienced shooters have always selected the best<br />

RWS ammunition for their rifle barrel from different<br />

batches. When they have found the correct batch they<br />

stock up in sufficient quantity to avoid testing for some<br />

time. Following this practice of the top shooters will<br />

enable everyone to find the right ammunition for their<br />

rifle and thus improve their shooting performance.<br />

Small rimfire information<br />

With centrefire cartridges the primer is centred in the<br />

primer pocket of the cartridge base and is linked to<br />

the propellant. With rimfire cartridges, however, the<br />

priming compound is pressed right into the rim of the<br />

base, therefore the name rimfire.

The basis of success<br />

The highest priority for RWS has always been to produce top quality<br />

branded products. Manufactured using the most modern technology<br />

and streamlined production processes from initial concept to<br />

final quality assurance it is evident that, even with the small rimfire<br />

cartridge, that reliability and accuracy are paramount. To achieve<br />

this high level of performance all the components must fit together<br />

perfectly. For example:<br />

• The bullet: its shape is perfectly<br />

developed and has a direct influence<br />

on the accuracy and the flat trajectory.<br />

By lubricating the bullet lead deposits<br />

in the barrel can be avoided. The bullet<br />

ensures the ideal ballistic characteristics<br />

and low wind sensitivity.<br />

• The powder: must ignite immediately and burn evenly so that the<br />

same pressure is applied to every shot, therefore achieving identical<br />

trajectories.<br />

• The precision in loading:<br />

The quantity of powder has to be exact and should not vary in the<br />

slightest otherwise the know-how and care invested by the experts<br />

in cartridge development and production would be wasted.<br />

The product lines<br />

However, it is not only the cartridge that is continuously optimized<br />

to meet highest technical demands and inspection specifications.<br />

The design of the package has also been modernized and now<br />

displays an innovative character.<br />

The RWS rimfire cartridges are clearly separated into product lines<br />

enabling easy selection of the right ammunition.<br />

The colour coding for the product lines correspond to the RWS air<br />

gun pellet range to create uniformity.<br />

¬¬¬¬¬In addition a star classification system has been<br />

introduced in the product range. The highest category of 5 stars<br />

in the Premium Line indicates best accuracy and outstanding<br />

performance.<br />

On the packaging pictograms clearly<br />

show calibre, bullet weight, quantity and<br />

usage for pistol or rifle.<br />

Through top performance and absolute reliability every single<br />

RWS rimfire brand product proves daily its superior quality.<br />

Whether for international competitions, sport in general, training<br />

or for special applications RWS rimfire cartridges invariably stand<br />

for the highest reliability and accuracy.<br />

Fascination biathlon<br />

RWS aims to win<br />

No other sport shooting discipline generates more<br />

interest within the media than the biathlon during<br />

winter. In combination with physically demanding<br />

cross country skiing this sport is gaining in popularity.<br />

The shooting stops form the most spectacular appearances<br />

of the biathletes during the competition. In the<br />

midst of their cross country run they stop to fire several<br />

shots at a distance of 50m.<br />

It is hard to imagine how exact the physical and<br />

chemical reactions of both ammunition and system of<br />

the biathlon rifle must be in order to hit the target<br />

accurately. What is said in general terms under the<br />

heading of ‘rimfire cartridges‘ also applies here.<br />

However, the demand of biathletes for more precise<br />

and consistent ammunition is much higher than that<br />

of most target shooters. Biathletes can never be sure<br />

what wind and weather conditions they will encounter<br />

but at least they need not worry about the ammunition<br />

when using RWS R 100. The materials used, the<br />

velocity and the arising gas pressure have been fine-<br />

8<br />

tuned so that in all weathers an excellent result can<br />

be achieved. Even in extreme sub zero temperatures a<br />

faultless function is guaranteed and enables outstanding<br />

performance.<br />

During Winter training the RWS Rifle Match S is best<br />

suited as the performance of this cartridge is also not<br />

impaired by cold weather.<br />

As official partner of the Swiss National Biathlon Team<br />

and numerous German top athletes, RWS ensures that<br />

the shooters go into the competition with the best<br />

ammunition. Accuracy counts for everything – that’s<br />

why we have made a sport of it.<br />

RWS – the brand of champions!

Pistol Match SuperClean<br />

RWS presents the first low toxic rimfire cartridge with<br />

80% less lead emissions for clean air at the shooting range.<br />

The disposition of the brand new SuperCleantechnology<br />

in the RWS .22 lr Pistol Match SuperClean<br />

rimfire cartridge contributes substantially to improve<br />

the air inside indoor shooting-ranges. The Super-<br />

Clean technology consists of multiple, consequently<br />

fine tuned components. Firstly the modified bullet<br />

shape reduces the friction and the lead-abrasion<br />

within the barrel. Secondly, friction and abrasion are<br />

further significantly reduced, due to special coatings<br />

- amongst others with nano-polymers. The corepiece<br />

of this new technology is the adoption of the heavy<br />

metal free SINTOX priming compound for the use in a<br />

rimfire cartridge. RWS is building on around 30 years<br />

of expertise in the development and production of<br />

SINTOX primers. The result is quite spectacular: Up to<br />

Pistol ammunition<br />

The perfect loading for everyone’s requirements<br />

Whether in the Olympic air pistol discipline, 25m pistol,<br />

Olympic rapid fire pistol or free pistol, every shooter<br />

is aware of the difficulty of the pistol discipline and<br />

knows that their ability will be tested.<br />

Therefore, the ammunition must be accurate and reliable.<br />

RWS offer pistol shooters a variety of ammunition<br />

for specific competitions and training. The optimum<br />

development of the rimfire cartridge is taken care<br />

of: from soft and consistent shot development, with<br />

noticeably gentle recoil to high velocity and a stronger<br />

recoil action – RWS offers the right cartridge for every<br />

requirement.<br />

After extensive research special ammunition has been<br />

developed for the air pistol discipline.<br />

Both of the High Velocity pellets R 10 MATCH and<br />

Meisterkugeln have been custom-made for pistol<br />

shooters and are lighter and faster than normal air<br />

gun pellets. With these High Velocity pellets RWS<br />

produces the fastest match pellets on the market.<br />

An overview of RWS air pistol ammunition:<br />

• R 10 Match and Match plus High Velocity air pistol<br />

pellets<br />

And for smallbore pistol shooters:<br />

• R 50<br />

• Super Pistol 250<br />

• Pistol Match and Pistol Match SuperClean<br />

• Pistol C25<br />

• Target Pistol<br />

Small technical masterpieces<br />

RWS airgun pellets are characterized by their particularily<br />

skilful material composition, the special surface<br />

finish and optimized weight. This guarantees outstanding<br />

precision values.<br />

All RWS Match pellets are produced in the classic<br />

diabolo shape. Head design, tail section and the<br />

special form of pellet head plate are decisive factors<br />

for the optimum stabilisation of the pellet in the barrel<br />

and therefore also for sharply punched holes. Tight<br />

production tolerances combined with strict testing<br />

conditions lead to further optimisation of accuracy<br />

– this is where quality is newly defined.<br />

RWS test shooting range<br />

The perfect combination of ammunition and rifle or<br />

pistol is decisive for the success of the target shooter.<br />

Therefore the requirements placed on the precision<br />

of competition barrels and ammunition are high,<br />

especially as each barrel has its own characteristics.<br />

Consequently it is important to match the competition<br />

barrel with different batches of ammunition, in order<br />

to find the optimal batch. For more than 20 years<br />

experienced target shooters have used the facilities of<br />

the RWS test shooting range at our factory in Fuerth<br />

to select the ideal target ammunition. We offer an<br />

unique service to our dealers to synchronise their<br />

clients’ weapons with the most suited RWS ammunition.<br />

Ideal conditions:<br />

The test shooting range is indoors and the results are<br />

not influenced by the weather. Five separate lanes<br />

equipped with target transport systems and electronic<br />

targeting system are available, and testing is possible<br />

from the stock or by clamping the barrel at distances<br />

of 10, 15, 25 and 50 meters.<br />

The following sport weapons can be tested:<br />

• Air rifles<br />

• Air pistols and CO 2 pistols<br />

• Pistols cal. .22lr, .32 S&W long<br />

• Smallbore rifles: .22 LR<br />

24<br />

The ammunition is included in the low user charge.<br />

Qualified expert staff supervise the tests and provide<br />

helpful advice.<br />

You can test:<br />

• RWS R 50 and R 100 as well as Special Match,<br />

Super Pistol 250, Pistol C25 and Pistol Match<br />

• RWS R 10 Match<br />

There are two ways in which an order can be handled:<br />

The shooter either comes to the test shooting range<br />

in person, or she/he can have the guns sent to us<br />

through a dealer.<br />

Shooters coming from outside Germany will have to<br />

have made prior arrangements with their dealer and<br />

appropriate imported before orders can be accepted.<br />

The usage fee per weapon and the invoice for the<br />

products to be supplied will be delivered to the dealer<br />

in accordance with the general terms and conditions<br />

of sale and delivery.<br />

Use the RWS test shooting range to be equipped to<br />

the best technical standards.<br />

In my professional capacity as a sport shooter for more than 20 years I have<br />

gathered a lot of experience with weapons and ammunition. The most important<br />

aspect of ammunition is constant high quality. Tests of different suppliers<br />

enabled me to find the best quality in outstanding ammunition. After more<br />

than 15 years of successfully using RWS R 50 I have found the perfect cartridge<br />

of high precision. The faultless manufacturing of this product, that never fails,<br />

coupled with its excellent shot pattern offer the shooter the necessary safety<br />

and guarantee to achieve top quality performance in training and competitions.<br />

Compared to other suppliers in this market, in my view, this cartridge is<br />

a must for every shooter who values quality and reliability.<br />

<strong>THE</strong> CHAMPIONS<br />

Success through precision<br />

For each sport shooter intensive training as well as the<br />

perfect combination of ammunition and weapon are<br />

the deciding factors for success. Manfred Kurzer was<br />

an adviser when perfecting the new RWS ® competition<br />

ammunition. Even tighter production tolerances<br />

and testing procedures are leading to further<br />

improvements of quality and guarantee outstanding<br />

precision values. These results were convincingly<br />

demonstrated in Athens: RWS ® is the most successful<br />

brand in the airgun pellet market. Manfred Kurzer’s<br />

victory and world record in Athens effectively illustrate<br />

the success story of the RWS R 10 Match and<br />

Meisterkugeln.<br />
