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 />
top athletes rely on the RWS<br />
rimfire ammunition and air<br />
gun pellets. We thank them<br />
for their support.<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 />
80% less lead emissions at optimum performance.<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 />

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 />
