RWS Field Line rimfire cartridges in hunting use
Whether for trapping, stalking or hunting from a hide for predators and small game, small-calibre weapons are firmly established in everyday hunting. They enable precise, controlled shots at short distances and impress with their low noise and reduced background hazard.
With the RWS Field Line, predator hunters have access to a tried-and-tested range of hunting rimfire cartridges that are tailored to different requirements in the hunting ground.
For short distances and low-noise use
Especially for trap hunting or at very short ranges, loads are required that are discreet yet reliable. In calibre .22 lfB, the following are particularly suitable for this purpose:
These cartridges are designed for particularly low-noise shooting and offer reliable performance at short ranges – ideal wherever discretion plays an important role.
For slightly longer ranges: High Velocity in .22 lfB
If the shooting distance increases or if a higher level of safety is required for slightly heavier game, faster loads in .22 lfB calibre are used. The Field Line offers the following options:
With a muzzle velocity approximately 40 m/s higher than standard loads, these variants enable a flatter trajectory and reliable energy transfer. Depending on your preference, you can choose between copper-plated lead round-nose bullets and hollow-point bullets.
More power with .22 WMR
For higher performance requirements, RWS also offers two variants in .22 WMR calibre within the Field Line:
The two options differ significantly in their design:
- FMJ (Full Metal Jacket): designed for high penetration while sparing the bellows
- SP (soft point/partial jacket hollow point): designed for rapid instantaneous effect and effective energy transfer in the game
This allows the ammunition selection to be specifically adapted to the respective application.
Conclusion: Suitable rimfire cartridges for every hunting situation
Whether you need a quiet special solution for trap hunting or more powerful variants for longer distances:
RWS Field Line rimfire cartridges allow you to tailored to the hunting ground, distance and game species. A wide selection of practical loads is available for typical applications in predator hunting – quiet, precise and effective.
