THE OPINIONS OF FAMOUS HUNTERS CONFIRM:RWS ammunition makes for a perfect hunt.

"RWS special bullets [...]perform reliably and kill in a quick and humane manner. And, if a shot is not as perfectly placed as I would wish, then my experience is that their special bullets make all the difference. In general, the game drops after only a few meters...“

Hermann Wolff (General Manager of the Federation of German Professional Hunters)

„ […] On the hunt I place my trust entirely in my Mauser M 03 in combination with the UNI Classic! This is the combination of proven weapon and projectile design that give me reliability and adequate reserves for a humane hunt of even heavy game around the world!Thorsten Mann (General Manager of Mauser Jagdwaffen GmbH)

Over 100 separate steps are required to make one complete cartridge

Strict quality controls are performed at each step

Each lot is test fired at least 7 times before it is approved for release

2400 commonly available firearms are available for test purposes

RWS MEANS RELIABILITY.Built into every shot.

RWS lets you focus on the chase, not the case!

ACCURATE CARTRIDGESThe result of precise workmanship

Every component is tested at our own firing ranges

There are 35 company‐owned firing ranges including a 500 m indoor lane

Actual trajectories are measured with radar Over 1000 special test barrels are available to

measure working pressure and accuracy Constant high quality thanks to bullets, cases

and primers made in our own facilities

Typical 5‐shot accuracy for RWS EVO Green: 20 mm at 100 mRWS lets you focus on the chase, not the case!

• Prompt killing effect makes for short flight distances, resulting in less time spent searching for game

For a certain blood trail in case a search is necessary

High impact with great depth of penetration, particularly on large game and with angling shots

Approximately 2,500 gelatin blocks are used in firing tests each year

X‐ray images have been used for the evaluation of proof load firings since 1950

Projectile development based on morethan 250,000 test firing reports

RWS' own hunting preserve for analysis of effectiveness under field conditions

CONSTRUCTION OF A CENTREFIRE RIFLE CARTRIDGEComponents and their functions

BULLET3

PROPELLANT4

PRIMER2

CASE1

Assures reliable ignition and uniform combustion of the propellant

Transmits energy to the bullet by transforming into hot gases under explosive pressure

Unites primer, propellant and bullet. Contains extremely high gas pressures, provides a gas seal and forces the bullet to move through the barrel

Projects kinetic energy precisely into the target and releases it according to its design parameters

A quality cartridge case is the shooter's life insurance. It must withstand extremely high gas pressures up to 7000 bar!Therefore, RWS cases must pass the most demanding quality tests in the industry.

RWS SPECIAL BULLETSAND THEIR ADVANTAGES

31



31


BULLET TYPESand how they function

• Mushrooms without fragmentation• Effect is mainly based on cross‐sectional expansion with

consistent weight retention • High probability of an exit wound

DEFORMATION BULLET WITH BONDED CORE

• Disintegrates except for the rear section, which is designed to retain a defined shape and mass

• Massive organic destruction caused by fragmentation with penetration

FRAGMENTATION BULLET

• Stable in both form and mass • Deep penetration
