RWS TARGET ELITE PLUS: Expanded product range for RWS match rounds in handloader quality

RWS TARGET ELITE PLUS cartridges have been synonymous with match rounds in handloader quality for about a decade. Highly precise ballistics and consistently outstanding accuracy up to a maximum range of 1,200 m are their hallmarks. The cartridges are predestined for long-range disciplines with their specially manufactured match cartridge shells and carefully selected, extraordinarily accurate HPBT bullets. Here, the characteristic hollow point and the engineered bullet shape for rigorously optimized external ballistics ensure extraordinarily stable trajectories. But still, the strictest quality standards and careful load for the big bore cartridges promise a consistent point of impact from batch to batch.

RWS TARGET ELITE PLUS cartridges are specifically engineered for high-end match firearms and suitable twist lengths in the long-range segment. The caliber range – encompassing the .223 Rem. to .338 Lapua Magnum – is now being expanded with the calibre 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 x 55 SE. Two additional loads with a 10.0 g and a 12.3 g match bullet are being launched as well in calibre .308.
