Always the right choice: RWS Rimfire

One of the characteristics of sports shooting is that weapon barrels are never 100% identical. This is why RWS rimfire cartridges are available in various designs. Despite the use of top materials and the greatest of care during production, there are always fine differences that can influence the precision of a shot. With ammunition, the tolerances within a production lot are extremely negligible, but there are microscopic differences from lot to lot. The precision of RWS small calibre cartridges and the negligible differences from lot to lot, which can only be detected when shooting, means that it is possible to find the right ammunition for almost every barrel.

Experienced shooters have therefore always selected the optimal RWS ammunition for their small calibre barrels from several lots. And then, when they find the right production lot, they stock up in sufficient numbers so that they can avoid further tests for a long time. Whoever copies the habits of the top shooters will also find the best ammunition for their weapon and significantly improve their performance while shooting.

With centerfire cartridges, the priming compound is located in an ignition bell connected to the powder chamber centrally in the case base. The primer in rimfire cartridges is instead pressed directly into the edges of the case bottom. It has already completely conquered the sporting sector.
