    Only ever used 22LR (best 22LR hunting round I ever used) and hornet SP's.

    Over many years, no problem ever encountered - accurate as hell and go "bang" every time.

    RWS have been making ammunition for rifled arm and Rottweil shotgun cartridges since 1887, so I guess they must be doing something right. They also make percussion caps of all kinds for BP arms, as well as airgun pellets.

    The last year before they were taken over by RUAG their revenue was 3.13 Billion euros, so they could well admit to being quite successful at making good ammunition of all kinds.

    Got some German surplus 7.62 NATO ammo a while ago I shot through the .308 with some RWS stamps on the packaging. That stuff shot better than some commercial hunting ammo.

    Or quite good at marketing their product so they can charge such high prices , in saying that I have 2 boxes of evolution in 270 I'm eager to try out
