RWS Short Rifle – The Performance Plus

More and more hunters have come to appreciate the advantages of a short and handy barrel. This trend is fuelled by the increased use of moderators, especially with the .308 Winchester calibre. Standard ammunition is formulated for use in the most commonly encountered barrel length of 60 cm. Firing standard ammunition out of short barrels has several disadvantages: Loss of velocity and energy, reduced effective range, dazzling muzzle flash, increased muzzle blast and accelerated silencer wear. That is why RWS has developed a cartridge tailored specifically for use in short-barreled rifles. This means that shooting a short-barreled rifle no longer means giving up long-barrel performance.

The key benefits at a glance:
✔ Reduced muzzle flash: Our fast-burning powder significantly reduces both muzzle flash
and report in shorter barrels. Now you can keep sight of the target at the instant the shot is fired, which is especially important when hunting in twilight or darkness.
✔ Full velocity and energy: Thanks to its special formulation, the new RWS cartridge delivers
full velocity and energy – even from short barrels. This means that you need not change your hunting tactics when it comes to a short barrel and that you can expect full knockdown
power, even at long ranges.
✔ Increased effective range: Speaking of that boost in performance: The V0 of the RWS
Short Rifle HIT is about 9% above average in short rifles. The Short Rifle HIT produces an E0 that is about 12% above average in barrels 400 to 600 mm long.
✔ Best for use with silencers: Short barrels and silencers make a perfect pairing. The complete combustion of the fast-burning powder in the barrel assures greatly increased life expectancy of the silencer and promotes accuracy.
✔ Nickled cases: Not only do they look chic but they have a practical use.
Nickeled cases are exceptionally corrosion-resistant and chamber more smoothly. Stuck cases, especially in semiautomatic rifles, are now a thing of the past.

The RWS Short Rifle is available with four different bullet types. Find out more about our RWS bullets here: https://bit.ly/RWS_Bullets_EN
