2 Quality is decisive Customized projectiles Compromises are not allowed when it comes to the quality of ammunition. The shooter s safety takes top priority in both development and production. Although all regulations contained in the weapons code are binding on every producer of ammunition, certain quality differences are clearly apparent in practice. This applies particularly to cheap brands, where it is only logical that some areas are subject to big savings. RWS, on the other hand, resolutely follows the high-grade route here, from the original idea in the development of a product right to the final visual inspection in Quality Assurance. All components, from the ignition cap over the case and propellant right to the projectile, pass through a permanently monitored production process. Perfectly matched to each other, the components are then assembled/filled and subjected to a series of strictly specified quality inspection procedures. More than 100 production steps are required before a cartridge is released for delivery. RWS is the world s only major producer of rifle cartridges who offers bullets for hunting purposes of its own manufacture exclusively. More than nine different hunting projectiles and numerous other types for military, police, industrial and sports applications are available, which no doubt makes RWS the supplier with the widest spectrum of projectiles altogether. Latest production methods guarantee highest dimensional accuracy and impeccable surface characteristics. The jacket is drawn and cut to length several times, and one or two lead cores are pressed in, depending on the type of bullet. Grooves and other features are produced to suit the specific projectile. A last dimensional and visual inspection follows after the projectile is calibrated. Random samples are taken daily from each production lot to check the precision. The projectiles are loaded into to cartridges and thoroughly tested from different test barrels. The specialist weapon trade is supplied with nothing but bullets, which have satisfied the strict RWS-internal specifications. The above are the most important ones of the many process steps necessary to create the special RWS projectiles. We have been masters at these procedures for generations. Nothing enjoys a higher priority with us than your success when you are out hunting. What are the particular characteristics of rws projectiles? Outstanding precision Optimally stretched trajectory Energy output in the body adapted to the weight of the game Readiness for deformation appropriate to the firing distance Short escape distances Cup 1st draw 2nd draw Cutting Prepressing Head pressing Necking and perforating Turning of rim and length It s the perfect mixture that makes the difference How do we achieve the high quality level of our RWS cases? After the bands are punched this starts already with the drawing of the cups. RWS cases are drawn in three stages, annealed after each draw, pickled, rinsed and subjected to further measures increasing the quality. The effect is a specific course in the hardness of the brass case and an increased resistance to exceptional strains. After the first cutting operation the cases are pressed, the mouth of the case is annealed once more; the case is pickled, rinsed and saponified. Next, the case mouth and shoulder are necked, the ignition channel is perforated, the rim is turned and the case cut to length again. Annealing of the case mouth takes place once more before the case undergoes a 100% dimensional and visual inspection. Random samples are taken from each lot before production progresses. These samples are assembled/filled to complete cartridges and subjected to extreme excess strains: at 10% excess pressure in especially prepared test barrels with partly inadmissible head spaces of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm. These head spaces are to simulate worn weapons, which exist on the market. At 30% excess pressure in test barrels produced to CIP specifications. Here we have developed a test programme, which extends far beyond what is required by the law. Even competitors describe this procedure as a merciless testing method, which reliably reveals possible existing nonconformities in the propellant case. Rifle cartridge cases must withstand most extreme gas pressures of up to 7,000 bar. It is not for nothing that experts refer to them as the shooter s life insurance. We have developed this probably most demanding test of the industry to ensure that you are always on the safe side. A case, which passes our quality inspection, is of a special format, it is an RWS! All assembly stages from the insertion of the ignition cap over the lacquering of the ring gap, filling of the Anvil-type ignition Nitrocellulose powder Projectile Case nied by electronic as well as visual inspections. Detailed testing of the chambering ability (by gauge) and automatic propellant, placing of the projectile right to the adjustment of the cartridge length and crimping of the bullet are accompa- weighing of each cartridge prior to packing complete these inspections. Gelatine is the ballistic target medium, which draw exact conclusions on the energy output comes nearest to the density ratio of muscular in the body. After firing the block of gelatine is tissue. This makes the material perfectly suitable Firing onto the gelatine block sliced and the tear lengths visible in the form for developing and testing projectiles, so that scientists of rays are evaluated. A curve results, from which the transfer can optimally simulate the effect in the body of the animal. of energy into the body can be deduced. On the next pages The test firings provide information on the energy transfer you will see the results of the different special RWS projectiles behaviour of a bullet. The course of the tear length permits to (.30 calibre) fired at blocks of gelatine. 2 3

3 Penetrates deeply Evolution bullet Impressive penetration even with bone hits! The advantage in effect of the Evolution bullet is very impressive with shots hitting bone, especially in heavier game: Upon contact with the game body, the deformation process is reliably initiated by the new Rapid-X-Tip. The Evolution bullet emits enough energy at the entry side to trigger the required shock effect. Classic softpoint bullets fragment when hitting stronger bones and therefore have less residual energy for penetration and exiting. The Evolution bullet remains essentially mass stable. This ensures that the required pe netration is achieved even after bone contact and provides a high chance of a clean exit (see graphic below). Venison preservation almost 100% residual weight due to Power Bonding With the Evolution bullet fragmentation is reduced to a minimum. By special bonding of the lead core with the Tombak jacket (Power Bonding), the Evolution cartridge achieves a residual weight of nearly 100% and therefore ensures impressive venison preservation. Excellent precision The Evolution bullet is characterised by its good ballistic precision. This is a result of its many new features including the friction reducing nickel plating of the cartridge jacket and the ballistically optimised calotte of the bullet. The aerodynamic geometry of the Evolution allows a longer trajectory and ensures higher shock energy even at longer distances. Barrel protection Many hunting cartridges cause high transverse stress in the barrel due to their rigid jacket construction. This is not a problem with the new Evolution bullet thanks to the design of the flexible calotte. The bullet s smooth nickel cover reduces deposits in the barrel to a minimum. Flexible application options Due to its unique construction the Evolution bullet delivers consistent deformation at all shooting distances and on all types of game. Its extraordinary penetration is extremely effective on larger and heavier game.

4 Handles anything Twin-core bullet (DK) 8 mm S HMK, 12.1 g... The HMK behaves exactly in the way intended by its design, as a partially bursting Simulated wound channel in gelatine block projectile. The tip bursts quickly by releasing frag- Tombac jacket ments, while the rest acts as a stable penetrating The twin-core projectile consists of two lead cores of different hardness and a jacket of tombac. For the separation from the softer tip core, the harder tail core is provided with an additional tough tombac jacket. The weight ratio of the cores is 50:50. A tail groove located in the rear section of the projectile reliably bonds the tail core to the outer jacket. A second groove in the front section forms the sharp rim (hair at location of impact) and is at the same time the predetermined breaking point for the front jacket of the bullet. This is an important aspect for the tearing-off of the otherwise hindering bullet flares. The design results in a straight shot channel, which causes the important bullet exit hole. Good and safe reaction of the game to the shot Extremely short escape distances The sharp rim resulting from the design guarantees the desired hair at the location of impact Optimal energy transfer in the first half of the body A reliable bullet exit hole guarantees sufficient blood Only minor devaluation of the venison Longer projectile cylinder Softer tip core Inner jacket of tombac Sharp rim and predetermined breaking point Tail constriction Harder tail core cylinder. The bullet produces best references also from big-game hunters. From 68 rifle projectiles and how they act in the animal s body (Hunt & Nature, issue 5/1999) RWS twin-core (DK), 165 gr. In line with the underlying philosophy, the front part of the projectile bursts while releasing the appropriate fragments. The rear part remains intact Acts quickly H-jacket bullet (H-Mantel) Simulated wound channel in gelatine block as a penetrator. Good shooting reports on red deer are to hand. From 68 rifle projectiles and how they act in the animal s body (Hunt & Nature, issue 5/1999) Special about this bullet is its famous H-groove, a predetermined breaking point in the shape of a constriction in the middle of the jacket. It assists the separation of the two projectile cores and is, along with other factors, responsible for the bullet s dual effective system: the front part bursts very quickly after the impact in the game, produces strong fragments and transfers much energy. The cylindrical tail part separates at the H-groove, penetrates the body even if bones of strong animals are hit, and provides the desired exit hole. Limited fragmentation due to the H-shaped constriction The tail part is slightly deformed upset in its diameter and thus provides an exit hole reliably The venison is destroyed to a minor degree only Quick death of the animal from shock Hollow tip of copper Tip core Tail core H-shaped constriction Tombac-plated steel jacket...approx. 75 % of the shot animals lay at the location of hit or within a minimal distance after a short death flight. Even at greater firing distances the projectile provided the desired effect with deformation and separation of the front part of the bullet. There was hardly any haematoma formation. The projectile s good precision is impressive... Norbert Klups, freelance journalist for leading hunting magazines 6 7

5 Hits ideally ID Classic bullet... In summer I choose the ID Classic for roebucks and also for the foxes. Where we live we Simulated wound channel in gelatine block get an ever increasing number of sows and with The basic idea of the ID Classic is to ideally combine the width and depth effect in the target. This was achieved by uniting two lead cores of different hardness: the soft front part in the shape of a plug reaches into the rear, hard and heavier part. This marriage of lead is enclosed by a jacket of soft steel, which becomes gradually thicker towards the rear. The torpedo tail with its bigger base area (by one third) improves the externalballistic behaviour thanks to higher flight stability. The rear core of the ID Classic projectile is more laid out for readiness to mushroom and energy transfer in the body of the animal, which makes the bullet particularly suitable for cloven-hoofed game of light to medium weight. The sharp rim punches a distinct, circular bullet entry hole and provides the desired hair at the location of the impact The front core bursts and releases fragments to a limited degree The harder rear core with its funnel-shaped recess mushrooms and as a rule provides the sought bullet exit hole The necked tail limits the tearing off of the jacket flares IDEAL for hunting light to medium-sized game Softer tip core Harder tail core Nickel-plated steel jacket Sharp rim Tail constriction my repeater I succeeded already several times in bagging more than one young wild boar from the horde. At these game weights the ID Classic of calibre 7x64 bans the shot animal on the spot. There is always a bullet exit hole and if the young boar happens to go a few metres into any thicket I Torpedo shaped tail find sufficient blood even by the eye. Hans Heinlein, hunter and farmer Extra hard UNI Classic bullet...i have been using the UNI Classic bullet in calibre Springfield in my 98 for years, Simulated wound channel in gelatine block with growing enthusiasm. What I particularly like The UNI Classic bullet was developed as a completion to the ID-Classic - especially suitable for hunting medium to big game. The harder and heavier tail core of the UNI Classic reaches with its tip into the soft part at the front. As a result the projectile tends somewhat less to mushroom, while its penetration force is increased. The torpedo shaped tail with its bigger base area (by one third) improves the external-ballistic behaviour thanks to higher flight stability. The sharp rim punches a distinct, circular bullet entry hole and provides the desired hair at the location of the impact The front core bursts and releases fragments to a limited degree The harder rear core tends to retain its shape and reliably provides the desired bullet exit hole The venison is destroyed to a minor extent only UNIVERSALLY applicable for hunting heavy game up to dangerous game Softer tip core Harder and heavier tail core Nickel-plated steel jacket Sharp rim Tail constriction about it is the very good effect on red deer and wild boars. This is especially evident also when leading guests to strong stags, in the repeat or finishing shot. The shot game reacts clearly. The bullet exit hole provides ample blood at the location of the hit and on the escape trail... Torpedo shaped tail Ulrich Maushake, Federal Forestry Office, Grafenwöhr 8 9

6 Mushrooming Cone-point bullet KS Philosophy or science Exceptionally high precision thanks to the long projectile guidance Low fragmentation The groove in the tail area of the bullet stops thedeformation and ensures a compact residual-size body with a high exit probability Typical cone shape Long projectile cylinder Lead core Tombac jacket Tail constriction Which projectile is the best? To this seemingly simple question there is no universally valid answer because the general conditions to be considered are too divergent. Aspects from the type of game, distance, calibre, barrel length, altitude, etc. right to the personal preferences of the hunter need to be taken into account. While precision is of utmost importance to some, others are frequently hunting close to the border of their shoot and therefore rely on short escape distances of the animals. Yet others attach greatest importance to a minimal destruction of the venison. To hunters with hounds, in turn, the guaranteed bullet exit hole and the presence of evidence such as hair at the location of impact are an absolute necessity. Many of these criteria are difficult to harmonize and some are starkly contrasting. This means that one must come to a compromise with every projectile. The question of the optimal bullet is a very subjective matter. This is why RWS offers a wide spectrum of projectiles, especially designed to meet the different priorities of the users. The chart below is intended to assist you in the search for your ideal bullet for the case on hand.

7 Fundamentals of ballistics MRD (GEE) Line of sight 5 cm Trajectory curve DETERMINING THE BALLISTIC DATA bres it is generally 600 mm. The velocity (V) is quoted in m/s The ballistic data quoted for RWS rifle cartridges do not represent absolute values. They are average data gathered from 200, 250 and 300 m. With standard cartridges the velocity (metres per second), and this at distances of 0, 50, 100, 150, numerous measurements with weapons of different makes. decreases or increases by m/s if the weapon s barrel Unavoidable dimensional tolerances in weapon and cartridge length is 50 mm shorter or longer, respectively, than the manufacture can influence the data to a minor and different stated length.

STRUCTURE AND INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARTS FROM THE MOST RECOMMENDED DISTANCE (MRD) PAGE 20 The MRD is the point at which the projectile s trajectory intersects the line of sight the second time. Hereby the projectile The ballistic coefficient (BC) describes the projectile-related influences on the delay of the projectile caused by the air is not allowed to depart from the line of sight by more than 4 resistance, i.e. it is a measure for the bullet s ability to overcome the air resistance.
