iano Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Anyone using this? Got some boxes ages ago and find it an excellent round. Suits the gun well, doesn't give too loud a 'crack' and does the business when it hits something. Hard to get though over here. Anyone else using it much?

achosenman Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Yep it's all I use. Most rifles will shoot ok at 50yds with pretty much anything if it's a good rifle. Push the range out to 100+ and then you find the truly good ammo. RWS will still hold MOA in my rifle while other brands print into an A4 size vertical spread. I was a bit concerned by the wax lube filling the hollow point cavity, but it seems to flatten the rabbits still so I don't worry about it.

Whitebridges Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Excellent round through my Annie. Quiet and consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 It's one of the quietest rounds out there, I use them in mine. It's rarely I go any further that 60yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Excellent rounds. Quite low velocity but even in my S/A they didn't tend to bounce off rabbit heads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadWasp Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 cycle well in my semi-auto (where others fail). A good accurate sub but has a rather gritty residue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achosenman Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 cycle well in my semi-auto (where others fail). A good accurate sub but has a rather gritty residue. When I had the Volquartsen, RWS was one of the few that would cycle. I agree with the comment about gritty residue, but all 22lr's suffer from that to some degree. I used RWS R50 through the semi for long shots from a static hide. Never had a runner if I put it through the head or into the boiler room. You do want a good backstop though. Back on topic, I ran a few over the chronograph and they are running at around 1000fps give or take a few fps. Most other hunting subs are running about 70fps faster but the ES then shows up on the target at 100yds. IMO the potential for hitting harder is moot if you miss, so I go for accuracy over everything else. Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iano Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Are they hard to get in the UK? Expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 It used to be all my RFD stocked. His price has gone up significantly so they're quite pricey for me but I have a few in stock and seem to have trouble actually getting out at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 My guy in North Wales stocks them. So not that difficult. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 All I ever use is RWS - subs and HVHP - brilliant rounds in my CZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
