    Thought this was interesting in terms of the history and the look you get at the manufacturing process, and in particular the design philosophy of the company.

    RWS seem to be an interesting company when it comes to hunting ammo. They, along with Norma, seem to have a very strong emphasis on quality, and the stuff isn't cheap, but there's great confidence in performance too. I've heard a few rough stories from friends about some of their bullet performance though. One friend had one of their premium expanding bullets blow up without penetrating properly on a kudu, from a .308, so not like it was blowing up from velocity. That said, if their claimed ballistics are accurate, they load very hot, which is also interesting.

    Also, the slow-mo camera of the impact in that video is excellent. About the best I've seen.
